There are basically two methods that can be used to get rid of the Quick Access. This might not be a big deal for you but it certainly is for a lot of people especially the ones who like to keep their activities private. If anyone else uses your computer then they will be able to see the most recently used file on your computer. But, the biggest reason why people get rid of it is the privacy factor.
