This python script that clears all entries in the Windows File Explorer from frequent folder and the list of recent files:
import os
import shutil
# Quick Access folder path on Windows
quick_access_path = os.path.join(os.environ['USERPROFILE'], 'AppData', 'Roaming', 'Microsoft', 'Windows', 'Recent', 'AutomaticDestinations')
# List all files in the Quick Access folder
files = os.listdir(quick_access_path)
print(files)
# Loop through all files in the Quick Access folder
for file in files:
# Check if the file name contains "tmp" or "temp"
if 'tmp' in file.lower() or 'temp' in file.lower():
# Construct the full file path
file_path = os.path.join(quick_access_path, file)
# Delete the file
os.remove(file_path)
# Print a message to the console
print(f"{file_path} deleted successfully.")
# Clear Frequent folder
frequent_folder = os.path.join(os.environ['APPDATA'], 'Microsoft', 'Windows', 'Recent', 'AutomaticDestinations')
os.system('del /f /q "{}\*"'.format(frequent_folder))
# Clear Recent files list
recent_folder = os.path.join(os.environ['APPDATA'], 'Microsoft', 'Windows', 'Recent')
os.system('del /f /q "{}\*"'.format(recent_folder))
