Windows 10's File Explorer keeps a record of your recently accessed files and folders, which can be helpful for quick navigation. However, if you're concerned about privacy or simply want to declutter your Quick Access view, clearing this history is straightforward.
Step 1: Open File Explorer Options.
Step 2: In the General settings, find Clear File Explorer history on the bottom and click the Clear button.
Step 3: Click the OK button and shut down the window.
If you want the recent files or frequently used folders do not appear on the File Explorer, you can uncheck these two items in the same privacy section.
In File Explorer Options winddow, hit the General tab. After that, uncheck Show recently used files in Quick access and Show frequently used folders in Quick access options. In this way, you can prevent File Explorer from displaying these items in the future.
