Angry How do I remove indentation from sumary?

Good afternoon.

Every time I update the summary Word creates a indentation on the child, tertiary, quaternary ....
You can take them manually, but it's 3 pages of summary and this is very annoying.
The titles throughout the work do not have indentation, I do not know why Word puts this indentation in the summary.
Image of the "problem".

Change the formatting on one instance to suit your preferences, then right-click on its paragraph break (click on the ¶ symbol on the Ribbon's Home tab to show these) and choose Styles>Update TOC# to match selection.

Thanks, it worked.

Do you know how I make the indentation of the text by the biggest section?

You'll have to figure out which is the largest one, then set a tab-stop that's larger than that. Note, too, that long headings will upset the page # alignment unless you set the right indent & tab-stop correctly and you'll need a hanging indent to prevent the wrapped content bleeding into the numbering area. See https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post52345 for a demo of the required setup.
