Deactivate the standard document library feature

Question

Hey,
I have created a custom document library definition. It works fine.
Is it possible to deactivate the standard document library when I activate the feature with the custom document library definition?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to deactivate the document library definition when activate the custom document library feature.
In the
SPListTemplate class , there is no remove or delete method, so it could not be achieved in FeatureDeactivating event.
As a workaround, if you want to force user to use the custom document library template, you can hide the OOTB document library template in the add app layout page using Jquery. It is located at the path below:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\AddAnApp.aspx
You can add the Jquery code under the PlaceHolderMain tag to achieve it. The document library template is a first li element under ul element.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$( "#scrollDiv ul li" ).first().hide();
</script>
Here are some detailed code demo for your reference:
Jquery find the first li
Jquery hide funtion
Thanks
Best Regards
