Bonjour Blossom,

Yes, "ne ... plus" is a negation. Take a look at the examples and the link below:

Je n'ai plus de fruits. = I don't have any fruits left.

Il n'a plus d'encre dans son stylo. = He doesn't have any ink left in his pen.

-> N'avoir plus de = To have none left (French Negations) / Forme négative

 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
