2.Find Privacy section in General tab. Click Clear button on the bottom-right of it.

3. Or you can uncheck both the options of Show recently used files in Quick access and Show frequently used folders in Quick access.

4. Click OK to confirm the settings.


5. Then the sections of recently used files and frequently used folders won’t show in File Explorer.
