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.

    It looks like it's new feature, not rolled out to everyone yet. Check this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/getting-started-with-quick-access-eb533c0a-7ee9-40d4-8d29-0a88cc9e0231

    As I understand it, this is a Quick Access from your OneDrive. I don't have that Excel version yet, so I can't try it, but check if they have added some new checkbox in Options, Save.

    This was already unchecked, and checking it and unchecking it does now solve the issue. Thanks.

    Try Options, Save, uncheck the option "Show additional places for saving, even if sign-in may be required".
