I am trying to disable the touch screen on my Dell inspiron 15 7000. When I run the xinput --list, I get this list.
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ 2.4G Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DELL07EC:00 06CB:7E92 Touchpad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN2097:00 04F3:2504 id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=20 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]

↳ Intel Virtual Button driver id=16 [slave keyboard (3)]

Please which one of them (ids) is for the touch screen?

vanadium is right, it is id 13. To disable type:
xinput disable 13
To enable:
xinput enable 13
To disable permanently, you'll need to add this on boot:
crontab -e
add line:
@reboot xinput disable $(xinput --list | grep DELL07EC | head -n 1 | awk -F ' ' '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}' | sed s/id=//)
