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.

    Ridiculously annoying. Please fix it or tell us what changes need to be made to fix it.

    Complete productivity drain!

    It could be a handy feature if they put it below the browse button.
    I hope they do shift things to make Saving As to a new file faster.
    I've tried a number of things including the suggestions here and still have no solutions.

    Not only is it obnoxious, but it creates an issue where I have to scroll down to see "browse" to the folder I want because of those. I just want to choose where to save my files on my computer, let us remove those quick access save places.
