There are many default settings established in Windows 11 that are focused on making the end user experience as complete as possible, one of these is directly integrated into File Explorer and is to keep recent files in it, this covers both files and folders and the purpose of this is to have much faster access to the file or folder and not have to go to the full path where it is located, this is one of the default functions of Windows 11. Many times the way of configuration in The appearance of Windows 11 does not convince us and that is why it is useful to know what alternatives we have to be able to configure our Windows interface in its different possibilities..
