Is there any way to either GET RID OF CAVE LAYER 1 PERMANENTLY?

Or to go into the advanced thing and get the ores to everywhere?

What are you trying to get rid of the first layer for? Do you need more space above, or don't want to dig through multiple caverns for fun trees like tunnel tubes and goblin caps?

If it's the former, instead of removing the first cavern (which is hard to do without just removing them all), go into advanced generation (or worldgen.txt in the init folder) and raise the number next to the "ABOVE FIRST LAYER" parameter to the minimum number of levels you want before your first cavern layer.

Minerals, including ores, are now controlled by the SCARCITY parameter. The lower it is, the more minerals and ores you can find.

The scarcity parameter is also in the advanced thing?

Yup. Advanced world generation is all parameters. Check the wiki for a guide on using them.
