I think, instead of deleting everything, keep the existing layout files and edit them to suit your needs. You can delete the unnecessary parts of the layout file and keep only the code for the side menu and navbar to start building from there.

Hi Jochem,

To start with a clean slate with only the layout (side menu and navbar) in Laravel, you can manually remove the unused folders and files. You may begin by removing the dashboard.

Here are some suggested folders that you can remove:

resources/views/layout/partials/sidebar-layout/sidebar/_menu.blade.php
resources/views/pages/dashboards/index.blade.php

resources/views/partials/widgets

I downloaded it and installed it by following:

Hi Jochem,

Have you considered using the Starterkit Laravel? It has a basic layout including a header, footer, sidebar menu, topbar menu, and pre-integrated assets.

You can download it from the following link:
