SharePoint Dragons

The following article did a nice job to explain how to hide the quick launch bar in SharePoint 2010: http://www.sharepointpromag.com/article/sharepoint/ways-add-remove-quick-launch-menu-control-140338 . It’s not that different in SharePoint 2013, although the Div IDs are different. If you follow Step 3 in the article, then create a CSS file and add the following:

/* Hide quick launch bar */

#sideNavBox {

display: none;

}

/* Hide quick launch bar */

#contentBox {

margin-left:20px !important;

}

Then reference this css file in your master page, you will have accomplished the same thing in SPS 2013!
