Sharepoint 2019 classic - removing the left navigation menu

Question

Hi, I did some testing and I was able to hide the Quick Launch, from the Navigation Elements option under Site Settings on a modern team site. However, in classic team site, the Site Contents link remains there, even if I delete the link from the Quick Launch links. Is this a bug? Do I need to revert to the old method of creating a code snippet to hide it?

Thank you

Hi @Echo Du_MSFT ,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Is it possible to do the same without using Sharepoint Designer 2013? If I'm not mistaken from the GIF, the left side still has the space there, it just doesn't have contents, or did I get it wrong?

Hi @Echo Du_MSFT ,

Great detail thank you. What would you need to do to remove the space, not just the contents, just like you have in the modern page?

Ok thank you, that is odd, it was possible to do it on previous versions. Maybe a strategy to promote modern pages.
