How can I turn off or limit file history tracking? File manager and video player keep tracking my recently used files and folders, I wish to keep my file usage history private.

To limit file history tracking on Windows File Explorer, clear recent files and adjust folder options to disable the display of recent and frequently used items. In Windows settings, go to "Privacy" and disable "Activity history." For video players, explore settings to clear or disable recent files lists, and look for privacy or incognito modes that do not track file history. Keep in mind that specific steps may vary based on your Windows version and the video player software you use.

To turn off or limit file history tracking, open Settings and navigate to "Privacy & Security." Switch the "File History" toggle to off to stop tracking your recently used files and folders, and use the "Clear History" button to purge your file Disney Hub history immediately. If you prefer to limit tracking instead of turning it off completely, you can adjust the duration for how long your file history is retained, with options like 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or Forever. This should help maintain your privacy.
