How to hide recycle bin SharePoint Online

Hi all,
I have created a subsite using SharePoint Online to create a dedicated document repository using "Documents" section.

I have edited all links that are present in Left Side Navigation Menu, but I can't remove Recycle Bin.

Is there a solution?
How can I remove it?

Hi @FedericoCoppola-2569,

As a workaround, you could enable publishing feature to hide recycle bin in SharePoint online.

In site collection level: go to site settings-> Site collection features-> scroll down to SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure and select Activate.

In site level: go to site settings-> Manage site features-> Activate SharePoint Server Publishing feature.

Solution works but prevents using the (mega)menu on top of your site when using a teams-site. So not ideal yet.
Any other suggestions?

Same issue here, on sharepoint online team sites the moment you activate the sp server publishing feature, recycle bin disappears from menu (displayed vertically), but makes impossible to use horizontal top menu.

Any way to get the top menu back if you do this? If you de-activate does it return the top navigation? Are there any repercussions?

The solution given is to remove the navigation completely. Or organisation want to provide a professional site to enable a group of industry particpants to colaberate. So we need a site map and navigation. The Horizontal Nav works because it doesn't monopolise real estate or create a huge amount of white space. However these these particpants will not be able to delete documents so recycle bin in not useful to them . Equally they will not be able to edit the navigation.

There really should be a way to remove these items.

Our organisation is becoming increasingly frustrated with the "any color yo like as long as its black" approach to customisation that has been introduced to the Modern SharePoint sites.

Please give a solution to this very simple issue
