# Turn off file history tracking

Tracking recently-used files and folders can make it easier to find items that you have been working on, but you may wish to keep these items private. To turn off the file history tracking features of your desktop:

Click your name on the top bar.

Select Settings Privacy Usage & History.

Set the Recently Used slider to Off.

To re-enable this feature, set the Recently Used slider to On.

This setting will not affect how your web browser stores information about the web sites you visit.
