    Hi! Sorry if this is a noobish question, but I couldn't find the answer in any forum.

    Below in the attachments is an image showing the history so you guys know what I'm talking about. Alternatively, here is a link to the screenshot I took: https://prnt.sc/m6pex6

    Thanks for your attention!

    :)

    explorer under folder options. Nothing worked, list is still there.
