How to hide recycle bin in modern UI?

Hi Ivan54,

I would iniitally thik that this is a permission issue. The best way this should be solved is by giving your read only users no access to the recycle bin. I wonder if you could simply resolve this by giving those read only user even less permission by creating a custom permission level.

I've not tested it recently but I could imagine that if you don't have permissions to delete a file that there wouldn't be any need for a recycle bin either. I remember in the past still seeing the recycle bin.

Using CSS/javascript to remove just the link would be easy, however paulpascha is right that this isn't somehting that is easily done within the modern SharePoint sites.
