Get rid of left menu bar in SharePoint Online

A little grey vertical menu bar appeared on the modern page today, it has a house which goes to the tenant home page, and a globe which goes to "My site", a page which goes to "My files", another icon that says "My news"

How can I get rid of that menu bar?

@YiruChen-1261,

This is the new feature called SharePoint app bar that is designed to improve the global way finding experience while dynamically displaying personalized sites, news, and files.

Currently, we could use powershell to temporarily disable the SharePoint app bar before October 31, 2021.

Temporarily disable the SharePoint app bar:

  1. Download the latest version of SharePoint Online Management Shell.

  2. Run the following command exactly as it appears:
    Set-SPOTemporarilyDisableAppBar $true

Note: It can take up to an hour for the app bar to be removed on a tenant where the app bar is already showing up.

@YiruChen-1261,

Before running this command, we need to use Connect-SPOService to connects a SharePoint Online administrator or Global Administrator to the SharePoint Online Administration Center.

 Connect-SPOService -Url https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com -credential admin@contoso.com

Then run Set-SPOTemporarilyDisableAppBar $true to disable the SharePoint app bar in specific tenant.
