How to Delete Recent on Google Drive
Google Drive is a powerful cloud storage service that allows users to store, share, and access their files from anywhere. One of the features of Google Drive is the “Recent” section, which displays the files and folders that you have recently accessed. However, if you find that this feature is cluttering your Drive interface or you simply want to remove certain files from the Recent list, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete recent on Google Drive.
Step 1: Access Google Drive
First, you need to access your Google Drive account. You can do this by visiting drive.google.com in your web browser or by opening the Google Drive app on your smartphone or tablet.
Step 2: Navigate to the Recent Section
Once you are logged in to your Google Drive account, look for the “Recent” section on the left-hand side of the screen. This section is usually located just below the “Shared with me” and “Starred” sections.
Step 3: Select the File or Folder
Click on the file or folder that you want to remove from the Recent list. If you want to delete multiple items, you can hold down the “Ctrl” (or “Cmd” on a Mac) key and click on each item to select them.
Step 4: Delete the File or Folder
With the file or folder selected, right-click on it and choose “Remove from Recent” from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, you can also click on the three dots that appear next to the file or folder and select “Remove from Recent” from the menu that appears.
Step 5: Confirm the Deletion
A confirmation dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Click “OK” to remove the file or folder from the Recent list.
Step 6: Clear All Recent Items
If you want to clear all recent items from your Google Drive, you can go to the “Recent” section and click on the “Clear all recent” link at the top of the list. This will remove all files and folders from the Recent list, giving you a fresh start.
By following these simple steps, you can easily delete recent items on Google Drive and keep your account organized. Remember that this action is irreversible, so make sure you have a backup of any important files before proceeding.
