The File Explorer on Windows 10 is different from the previous versions of Windows operating systems especially because of the added Quick Access feature that records the recently opened files and folders under the Recent Files and Frequent Folders sections. By default, it will list the files and folders that you opened so that you can easily go back to them instead of going through the folders where you originally opened them. If you are the only person who is using your computer and it is password protected, you do not have to worry about other people knowing your activities. On the other hand, you can clear the File Explorer history to make sure that people whom you might give permission to use your computer will not be able to know the files that you were opening. Other than that, the list can be cluttered that you need to clear it to start fresh.
The list of recently opened files is showing under the Recent Files section.
Here are the steps to clear the File Explorer (Quick Access/Recent Files) history list on Windows 10 operating system.
1. Right-click QUICK ACCESS on the right pane and choose OPTIONS to open the Folder Options dialogue window.
2. Click the CLEAR button under the "Privacy" category.
3. Click the OK button.
