How do I remove the "Suggested" list from the new Teams? This is both annoying and foolish.

    Nope, the Windows File Explorer as used for file browsing in Windows. The one started using "windows key" + "e". But since my last reply I got a new laptop and didn't change these settings, but the issue is still gone.

    So I'm not sure how it didn't re-appear, but changing the settings in File Explorer did fix it the first time.

    I uninstalled the Teams that comes with Office365. I then downloaded and installed the stand alone version of Teams, logged in with my Office account and it the list went away.

    Arrrrg, I just started to experience this problem myself yesterday.

    It is insane that this i) cannot be turned off or ii) names cannot be deleted. I have the names of individuals whose e-mail addresses no longer exists and I cannot get rid of them!

    The proposed solution in File Explorer is not working for me.

    Why cannot they not fix such simple problems it is maddening!!
