Windows 10: How do I clear the "top apps" from the Start Menu?

Hello, when I open the search box, I see this:

Those apps have been here a pretty long time, and I very rarely use Edge too. Is there a way to change it or clear it?

Start menu "Top Apps" Remove

Hello All,

Currently on build 2019.07.30.2227780 and would like to know if there is a way to remove the "Top Apps" from the start menu search bar (Press Start, Enter something to search on, Delete said search, will then display the "Top Apps"). Seems odd to have this
show as i already know where my top apps are, and just makes it look messy.

I have been to Settings --> Start --> and all settings in there are turned off, the Permissions and History option is also turned off, and "Clear my device history" has been selected (this setting can be got to by the drop down menu on the search at the
top right).

Any advice as to how i can get rid of the "Top Apps" or at least a way to clear the history and stop the software from recording it?

Thank you,

Oliver
