How do I stop Teams items appearing in Quick Acess when I am SAVING (using Save As) a Word or Excel document?

Every time I try to use the Save As feature to save a Word or Excel document, Teams channels appear in the Quick Access area. I don't want these items to appear. This just started happening last week. Normally the folders I have added to Quick access show up..

    Why does Microsoft roll out this update without giving us the option to remove it?! This is incredibly annoying that the "Browse" option is all the way at the bottom I need to scroll down to get to.

    I have the same issue and the question really wasn't answered. I want the Teams locations in Quick Access to go away. I will never use them. They are hogging the whole sidebar.

    I agree David_239. This so called "Quick Access" feature is anything but a "Quick" access and has created productivity loss because of the useability issues it raises.

    @Microsoft this "feature" (1) Violates company's security controls because documents are NOT to be save to Teams or the Cloud (2) enabled with preferences to allow the user to configure it (3) annouced as an optional so companies that have document control policies could properly evaluate and adopt the features.

    Corrective action needs to be taken - hopefully soon.

    I have the exact same issue - keep your bloody teams out of my Office; I'll choose if & when.

    The response provided does not answer the question. The response talks about adding items to Quick Access. I want to REMOVE the Teams channels from showing up in Quick Access. I don't need them there. I need the document folders that I currently have pinned to Quick Access to appear. I can get to those folders by scrolling to the bottom of the panel on the left hand side and selecting "Browse" but I don't want to have to do that EVERY time I am saving a Word or Excel document. Please provide a way to REMOVE these Teams channels from Quick Access. I am using an enterprise account, version # 2409 Build 18025.20140.
