Right-click on the Windows icon and select Settings. After that, click on Personalisation on the left side of the menu.

Click on the start settings. Here you need to adjust the sliders from Show recently used apps and Show recently opened items in Start, Jump list, and file explorer.

Next, open a file explorer window. Click on the three dots icon on the taskbar and select Options.

Uncheck the boxes next to: Show recently used files, Show frequently used folders and show files from office.com. If you want, you can clear the File Explorer history by clicking on the Clear button. After that, click on Apply and Ok.

When this is done, your recently used files and folders or recommend files are hidden from view. I'm inspired by creators as TechGumbo and Tech Insider.
