Reset and Clear Quick Access Pinned Folders in File Explorer [Windows]

As we transition from Home Drive (Network Drive) to Onedrive and removing permissions to the older Home Drive, we may run into some issues with previous links being broken within out Microsoft 365 applications. This will help resolving the issue.

Note: When we move away from the Home Drive and disable the share, you may run into some issues with slow Microsoft tools like Outlook and Word. You can reset the links, so they no longer show up as recently accessed file links. This will remove those links, so they never show up on Microsoft 365 apps again.

1. Open file explorer and Click/tap on the icon to the left in the address bar, copy and paste %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations into the address bar, and press enter.

2. Delete (Ctrl+D) the f01b4d95cf55d32a.automaticDestinations-ms file in the AutomaticDestinations folder. (see screenshot above)
