Run

sudo dpkg --remove-architecture i386

if you're sure you don't want updates to any 32-bit applications present on your system or to install 32-bit applications. Keep in mind that you'll be blocking security updates for any existing 32-bit applications.

And, later, if you change your mind and want to install 32-bit applications or to update existing ones, run:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

followed by

sudo apt-get update

and

sudo apt-get upgrade
