Unable to remove site contents link from left hand navigation SharePoint 2016

Question

I am trying to remove site contents link from left side navigation for a subsite and I am unable to do it via Masterpage. I have edited the Seattle.master master page from designer and set it as default master page but nothing works. I have commented the below codes

<div class="ms-core-listMenu-verticalBox">
                    <SharePoint:ClusteredSPLinkButton
                        runat="server"
                        id="idNavLinkViewAll"
                        PermissionsString="ManageWeb"
                        NavigateUrl="~site/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx"
                        Text="<%$Resources:wss,AllSiteContentMore%>"
                        ToolTip="<%$Resources:wss,AllSiteContentMore%>"
                        accesskey="<%$Resources:wss,quiklnch_allcontent_AK%>"
                        CssClass="ms-core-listMenu-item ms-core-listMenu-heading" />

and also tried this css but doesn't work either

<style type="text/css">
.ms-core-listMenu-item, .ms-core-listMenu-item:link, .ms-core-listMenu-item:visited, .ms-tv-item:link, .ms-tv-item:visited, .ms-tv-header:link, .ms-tv-header:visited {
    color: #666666;
    text-decoration: none;
    display: none;
} </style>

<style type="text/css">
     .ms-splinkbutton-text a[title="Site contents"] {display: none !important ;} 
</style>

I followed the instructions from link as well but it was of no use: Hide Site Contents Link from SharePoint 2013 Quick Launch

Please suggest a way to remove site contents link from left hand navigation.

Answer 1

You can try this in the master page. I tried on a Seattle masterpage and it worked.

<style> .ms-core-listMenu-verticalBox > a[title="Site Contents"] { display:none; } </style>

Update... check your master page settings...
