Sometimes more functionality is confusing to the end user. While I think these are good features to have, just like with the article from last month : http://iedaddy.com/2010/02/how-to-hide-left-display-panel-in-sharepoint-2010/ the owner wants the site to “look less sharepointy”. And so here’s how to remove the Recycle bin from your pages as well:
The easiest way is to use the old school CEWP trick that worked even back in 2003, just add a the Web Part that now has the name Content Editor and add the following text in the HTML Source mode:
In a 2007 site:
<style type="text/css"> .ms-quicklaunchheader{display: none;} .ms-recyclebin{display: none;} </style>
In a SharePoint 2010 Site:
<style type="text/css"> /* To Hide both */ .s4-specialNavLinkList{display:none;} /* To Hide "Recycle bin" */ .s4-rcycl{display:none;} /* To Hide "All Site Content" */ #ctl00_PlaceHolderLeftNavBar_PlaceHolderQuickLaunchBottom_PlaceHolderQuickLaunchBottomV4_idNavLinkViewAllV4{display:none;} </style>
Worked like a charm ! Thanks a load !!
None of the other suggestions from different websites would work !
