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.

    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.

    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.

    I have never before posted a complaint like this, but this feature is so not efficient that I felt forced to post this.

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

    Complete productivity drain!

    This feature is useless. Why did they think it was a good idea? I'm curious to see the use case but all my users are complaining about this useless feature. It's forcing Sharepoint sites that most people don't work on. At least give us the option to remove it.
