Windows 10: hide or get rid of Quick Access in windows 10 Home

How can I get rid of Quick Access in windows 10. I have tried the most common ways from the internet like changing to This PC, but they don't work.

Windows 10 Quick Access

Hi,



Windows 10’s File Explorer has a new “Quick Access” view. Whenever you open a file browser window, you’ll see a list of “frequent folders” and recent files. This list of folders also replaces the old favorite folders list.



Microsoft is trying to be smart here, automatically suggesting lists of folders and files you frequently use so you can access them more quickly. But File Explorer can still work the old-fashioned way if you change a few options.



Are you trying to hide files under Recent Files in Quick Access?



Unfortunately you cannot hide the selected files in recent files.



Regards,

 

Quick Access

The reply isn't helpful unfortunately.

The question/posting wasn't about deleting files or permanently deleting files.

But about the display of recent files in Quick Access view, which is shown when opening File Explorer => Windows 10.

Quick Access shows a list of (supposedly) recent files that have been opened. It doesn't automatically update when other files are opened.

My question was about listings in Quick Access that showed files as having been moved or renamed when in fact they had been deleted (I would suggest the Recycle Bin).

So to my partner the Quick Access listing was stating I had (attempted to) move/rename the files (and therefore hide them from her) whereas I had actually deleted them.

I would appreciate someone verifying this is plausible with the way file listings are listed in Windows 10/Quick Access.

 

Hide Quick Access Option


Is there a way to hide the "Quick Access" in Windows Explorer?

Just curious. I know I can hide things from there in options but I wanted to see if I could get rid of it altogether.

Thanks
