How to remove Recents tab/icon in iOS Files App

Is there a way to disable the Recents tab/icon in the IOS Files app? Or is there a way to delete the "recent" files from Recents without permanently deleting the files?

Hi there maugustson,


There would not be a way to remove the Recents tab from the Files app on your iPhone. This outlines all the available ways the Files app can be used: View and modify files and folders in Files on iPhone


If this is something you'd like to see changed in the future, then we would encourage you to submit feedback about this here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple


Cheers!
