SharePoint online new experience issues with file library
Hello,
Sites creted with new experience in SharePoint on-line do not allow to remove file library and form templates other via GUI or via SPD. So do we have to use Power Shell to remove it ?

Hi
In looking at your screen shot, I think the issue is that you are trying to delete the default document library (/Shared Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx) which I don't think you can do in modern team sites (I can't remember if you were ever able to do it but from the conversation I think maybe so). I've just had a look at a MS Demo tenant and there is no option to delete the documents in the UI, but the delete option is available on any new document libraries I create. When you think about it, it makes sense that you can't delete that library as Shared Documents is sometimes the default sharing destination when you save. When you add users to the site, the link in the welcome email is for Shared Documents. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Its almost a year old thread. Did you know that :-)

- I think is more a problem related to SharePoint Designer that is the tool you are using to delete the document library...why do you want to delete from Designer?

please look carefully at attached pictures and then reply :-) why do I want to delete from Designer? because I do not have any other option :-)
- Trust me, I looked it carefully...I have just verified that in a modern SPO Site I have the option to delete a Document Library so I don't know why you don't have this option using the UI...I can share with you a screenshot so you can look at it carefully ;-)
