"Quick Access" menu questions

The quick access folder is a great idea ... to a point ...
Just because I am working in or, on a folder doesn't mean I will need to open it again. I am moving music files around and will most likely delete said folder anyway.
This isn't happening all the time but, if I have a folder open for, say, longer than a minute (not sure how long it actually takes), it will jump right up to the quick access menu. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Like say, maybe, I pick what should be there instead of them jumping there just because they are open for a couple minutes?

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I have unchecked the option "Show recently used files in Quick access" ... We'll see how it goes next time I am working on them.

    Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.

    You can change file explorer settings to show "Recently used files" and "Frequently used folders" in quick access.

    1-Open the file explorer

    2-Click on the View tab then click on Options

    3-In the folder options window, under the privacy options, uncheck the option "Show recently used files in Quick access"

    4-Click on apply then click on Ok.
