How to Clear or Remove the Recent file list in mobile apps

Dropbox team. I have been a happy user for over 5 years along with the growth of your company strictly as a file sharing service. This 'recents' default page stinks of big brother. Why are deleted files appearing here? Why does the user not have control over his own documents? I've just been placed in a highly personal difficult situation by opening Dropbox on my chromecast in front of family expecting as usual to open to my folders page, only to have a list of VERY private notes on the decline of my very elderly mothers mental health I'd been keeping elsewhere on my device displayed for her to see on this recent files list! Also to find out that deleted files from elsewhere are displayed here, that I cannot clear the list, and that this is now the default opening page, and that I cannot change that either, is all wrong on  so  many levels. Dropbox used to be a safe place for the user to choose which files were placed in our Dropbox for our personal security and filesharing, along with one public folder. Where the user chose what and how to share files with who. I think you (Dropbox inc) has done too many deals with major telcos offering free cloud storage and the like, and is now actually preventing us, the end user, from censoring our own files and folders. Why retain and display files we have already deleted, and WHY prevent us from having control over this 'recents' list? You really have created a MAJOR personal drama for me, your customer, by displaying MY private and deleted files from elsewhere on my device to this 'recents' default landing page upon opening your application in a public setting (chromecast), and  without my consent. Please reply to me as to why we do not have control over this recent files landing page. From reading the comments above, not only are you going to lose many customers over this, but you seem to have a reason in doing such as you have, that losing this custom seems not to be a primary issue for you. Again, could this be because you now come pre-installed on new phone contracts with major telcos on free cloud storage deals, so that you can censor the majority without caring for those of us who originally came to you for your initial file sharing capabilities? As you can tell, from one highly distressed former lover of Dropbox! I really hope to elicit a response! Why do you have primary control, and I have secondary control over MY personal property? My documents ARE my personal and private property aren't they? Or is there some new law, or revised clause where I no longer have sole ownership? I certainly no longer have sole control over my own phone.. I feel my documents have been hijacked by Dropbox! PLEASE reply!
