Documents showing in recent when not opened

I have noticed that every time I open file explorer, the recent list shows a random 10 documents which are stored on onedrive that I haven't accessed (on this or any other device). I am the only one with access to the device and the onedrive folder.

    I share your concerns. Having read through all the replies, my concern is that my files are being accessed by the ‘A I copilot’ in Microsoft edge, in order to learn about me. But I am also a writer and I’m concerned about retaining my intellectual property, and that of friends who share their work with me. I will try disabling the ‘co- pilot’ to see if this helps.

    I can't understand why the Microsoft techno support experts are apparently not addressing this problem and keeping us updated about it. It's just been staying the same for all this time and it's making me nervous about using OneDrive. I'm writing a novel and have got all my Word files for it synced to OneDrive.

    a month later and still not fixed. Interesting I have a work one drive account and I don't have this problem. Why do we have the sub-par version that doesn't work right?
