    How do I remove or delete files that I recently visited in google drive (t.n I'm using mobile).

    Its so annoying whenever I open my drive on my device it shows even a year ago file that I read in home menu and whenever I go to recent there's also a file that I already read.

    I continue delete/remove them but they keep coming back.

    The one I'm talking about is whenever you open your drive on mobile there's a (Home , Starred, Shared and Files) I'm talking about home.

    I hope there's people know this issue of mine I only like to clear the files that shown on Home.

    You mean recently viewed right? I don’t remember how but that can be turned off so that it doesn’t show your recently viewed or shared files. Doing some Googling will help imo.

    If you done it, it could be cache that shows up

    as far as i know you can only remove it in desktop version. maybe the settings count for mobile too idk just try it.
    you can view desktop version of gdrive on your mobile deice too, try disabling it there

    If it's something you want to hide, you could try and overwrite the list with more recent reads?¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    it's also possible that those can't be cleared up, or if you undo that setting for quick access, it's also possible that it will take some time to take effect
    Basically, there is no direct way to do it. I think the best bet would be try to poke here in the settings https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-personalization

    Have you tried to disable your quick access in Settings?
