Remove Merge Documents and Relink Documents views from library
I just came across this solution:
https://www.sharepointdocumentmerge.com/
I watched the video and it looks like a great solution. Note that I've never used this myself.

Maybe I didn't explain the issue well, but that doesn't address my issue... all I want to do is remove the Merge Documents and Relink Documents public views that users are able to see in the Library ribbon. Changing users access to read only won't work, because they need to be able to upload documents to the library. Including a screenshot.

Im not sure how that would work but have a suggestion. Create a new Form library, since thats the reason you are seeing those views, and test deleting those two pages to see if the changes are reflected in the view menu. Then just try uploading documents to the library. Maybe you can just save the existing one as a template and create a new library from that to test.

So, deleting the repair.aspx and combine.aspx files in the Forms folder in SharePoint Designer worked... the "Merge Documents" and "Relink Documents" Public views are no longer listed in the library ribbon. Does anyone know if deleting those 2 files is going to break anything? I can't see to find anything about that on the internet.
