In Excel, how do I remove the Quick Access pane in the File Save interface?

The quick access pane is providing links that I do not have write access to and never save to, and I need the 'Browse' folder option at the bottom, which I now have to use the scroll bar in order to select. This is adding extra steps and reducing efficiency, so I would like to remove the Quick Access pane.

    If want to just save as. Shortcut key is F12

    If want to navigate to the open file box and avoid the quick access (was a query further down). Ctrl F12 is the shortcut key

    Thanks
