A few months ago, I got a new MacBook Pro, but I could not get the data to transfer properly as I messed it up. I then did a clean install of Monterey and managed to get it to work as per normal. One day I was in Finder and noticed in my Recent folder from the sidebar, no files appeared even though I had made a text file earlier. does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.

Recents is a Smart Folder that depends on the “Last Used Date” metadata. That normally only gets set if you open the file from Finder.
