How To Clear Quick Access History In Windows 10
The Quick Access menu does more than just allow people to pin their most used files. It’s also a place where Windows 10 automatically keeps track of your most frequently used files and then with this knowledge, will display those files on in the menu.
Thankfully, there is a way you can delete the history of the Quick Access menu in Windows 10 so that when you open up the File Explorer window, it will not remember any of your most frequently used files and thus will not be giving hints as to what your most commonly used files are when File Explorer is open.
To clear Quick Access history launch File Explorer by pressing Windows + E keys.
Now that you have the File Explorer open, click on the “File” menu available at the top of the screen.
Click on the “Options” option from the menu to get access to the “Folder Options.”
From within the “General” tab in the “Folder Options” menu, click on the “Clear” button that is found within the “Privacy” section toward the bottom.
As soon as you have clicked on the “Clear” button, the history is deleted.
