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..

    Just to make sure this forced "feature" is really, REALLY useless, you can't choose which Teams rooms appear in the "Quick Acces" For me, the entire left panel is filled with teams rooms of projects that was ended long time ago.

    Thank you ---

    Even though it is a work around, and yess the "Quick Access"/Team Channel links in the save window have not disappeared. I am super happy to now have the option to click on a save as button in my quick access toolbar and bypass all of this "MS365 Noise" to save a file.

    If my company was configured to be using teams to manage files then I am sure I would be happy with this but we are not. They just need to make it customizable to included old school file management links and new.

    Dennis, your comment is rude and unnecessary. This is a workaround, not a solution. We are all here for the same issue. Just keep it moving...no big deal.

    Thanks Betty! I posted the same workaround too. :)

    My suggestion is to add Save As to your toolbar and use the Save As in your toolbar vs the File then Save As option on the left. This will take you right to File Explorer.
