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.

    AND MICROSOFT STILL WONT FIX THIS ISSUE?? ENOUGH HAS BEEN SAID MICROSOFT! THIS IS NO LONGER 'QUICK' ACCESS, AT LEAST REPLACE THE WORD 'QUICK' WITH 'SLOW' WHICH BETTER REPRESENTS THIS FEATURE.

    SLOW ACCESS!

    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.

    The work around of putting the "Save As" on the quick launch bar works for saving but I still have the issue when trying to open files, I still have to scroll down past a bunch of quick access/shared files before I can get to browse. @Microsoft - this is B.S. give us a way to turn this off or on.

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