How to delete recently opened files in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Question

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Answer 1

Hello,MA495

Welcome to the Microsoft community!

I have realized that your issues.

I would like to confirm that what's the version of your Office and which Windows system you are current using？

Are you a working account?

 I didn't find the relevant setting to delete recent files directly, so maybe I'm opening the wrong content.

If possible, could you send a screenshot of where you need to delete?

The only thing I found in the official website I searched for was a way to delete Copilot activity history.

Feel free to post back if you need further assistance. 

Thank you for your understanding and patience and I look forward to hearing from you.

Answer 2

The above response does not answer the question. I, too would like to delete a file, not delete activity history. How does one delete a file saved in Copilot?

Answer 3

yes, I have files that I have already deleted showing up in my recently opened, under quick access in the Copilot 365 app. I would like to know if it is possible to clear my recently opened so that they don't show up anymore. I can clear them on the Excel app and on the Word app but not on the Copilot 365 app.

Answer 4

You have presented the wrong answer. How do I delete files from copilot, not actvity history?
