How to remove/hide the recycling bin and All site content from the quick launch or remove the quick launch altogether?

Question

Ho can I remove the recycling bin and the 'All Site Content' link from the quick launch or remove the quick launch altogether

Answer 1

CSS, create for instance a CSS file and reference it in the site's Alternate CSS URL, or you could add it to your masterpage if you want to remove it altogether.

The content of the CSS-file could be this (to hide the whole quicklaunch):

/** This stylesheet is used in sites where the quicklaunch is not needed **/
div#s4-leftpanel {
    display: none !important;
    visibility: hidden !important;
}
.s4-ca {
    margin-left: 0px !important;
}
