Join nowI'm glad that you've reached out to us here in the Community, @michael.horn.
The options found on the left navigation pane are default menus in QuickBooks Online. They are designed intentionally and have special functions for all features in the system.
You can select the collapsible icon temporarily if you don't need them. That way, you can utilize the whole screen when working on your task.
For now, I recommend visiting our QuickBooks Blog site to get the recent news, information about the latest features, and updates.

Unfortunately, you never answered the question. You simply talked around it. If the answer to the question is ---You can't---then just tell me that. The reason that I asked is because QB continues to add items in that menu that are of no use to me. I would be surprised if I was the only one with this issue. Thanks.
Did you find out if this is possible?
Let me share information about removing items from the left menu, @corrected 1099 misc form.
As of now, the ability to remove the items from the Menu panel is unavailable. I know this could benefit your navigation to maximize space and handle the menu quicker when in use. Most of the items on the menu are user suggestions because we care about your QBO experience here.
In the meantime, I suggest sending feedback to let our developer know that this is crucial to your business. Just click the Gear icon on the upper right and select Feedback under Profile, then hit Next to submit.
You can also search some articles on our Community page if you need help navigating other abilities in QBO.
Feel free to post a comment if you need assistance with the QuickBooks Menu and other functionalities. I'll get back to help you. Have a good one.
I completely agree. 3/4 of my left hand navigation is BS you are trying to sell me. I accidently click on banking which takes me to a sales listing vs my banking about once a week. This experience is AWFUL.
Add "Adblock Plus" to your browser. Click its menu and click "block element" then select the menu option you want to remove (make sure you're highlighting the full menu option block, not just the text). You can undo these actions later, or just turn adblock off when you want to view all options.
