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.

    Please give us an ON/OFF button. This is not helpful to customers with hundreds of different sites.

    This does not work for users! Old back-up Teams channels which are seldom used are prioritized over my daily folders. Please change this.

    Yes, please allow for disabling this "feature". It's terrible.

    This is extremely unhelpful, and like someone else said, it causes unnecessary mistakes due to years of built up muscle memory. If anything, there should be a "Collapse" option for this new Quick Access section. Thank you to the other user for the workaround with the Save As in the quick options toolbar!
