Spend over 1hr trying to figure out why they were still showing up until I found this!!!

Staggering. It seems that we are the QA testers now.
This is a feature that needs resolving quickly. We cannot have lots of deleted sites clogging up our SharePoint / OneDrive.

If you listened to the users and admins I have a very hard time believing that there is a valid use case for dead links to continue to show up on your frequent site lists. This isn't social media, give the admin the ability to define this page and clear out old junk automatically!

Can't believe this still hasn't been fixed! I also, like many others below, am waiting to roll SharePoint sites out to staff but cannot with this issue. I cannot approach people to use this site and expect them to keep it tidy when there is lots of dead links in the 'Home Page', which no doubt will also cause a lot of confusion. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! This issue has been around for years and still nothing from MS about it and MS Support cant do anything either, sort it out MS.

I have seriously considering creating a new tenant for a company of 5 users in order to clear out all the "Recent" and "Frequently Visited" references to test/temp/dev resources which now return 404 errors. Migrating the 100GB+ of emails and need to perform it after-hours is the sole reason why we have not done this yet; in the meantime we are doing our best to link to a "classic experience" root portal where navigation is currently statically configured for various collections.

Just starting to work in a new company and looking to implement SharePoint 2016, but these type of issues are getting most of my enthusiasm away. Should I look elsewhere?

Does Microsoft have a fix yet? Very frustrating. Trying to implement this within a large team but do not want to share until there is a fix. Currently have a a load of deleted pages sitting in my frequent sites which causes confusion.

The fact that this is still an issue is embarrassing for Microsoft. My company is new to O365 and within the first week of testing we are noticing that deleted sharepoint sites don't delete from the frequently used sites list. A quick google search and I'm shocked to find that there's no resolution to this. Are you serious?

This feels very sloppy. Simple QA testing would have easily revealed this issue. What's worse, this has been a known issue for almost 2 years, and MS is sitting on their hands instead of employing, what should be, a very easy solution to a very unprofessional problem.
This is just another bug in a long list of issues that I've found with SharePoint during my deployment. MS seems unwilling to maintain products which they feel are ready for retail. It almost feels like they stop caring once your credit card has been processed.
As such, I have halted any further deployment of this product in my organization, and am now looking at what other companies, like Google, have to offer.

Kindly help to resolve this issue as the deleted group still appearing is really misleading

This is a gigantic problem for users, especially when deleted groups have similar or identical names to current groups.

Yes, please allow the removal of frequent sites from the home view. I have deleted several sites as they were created during testing, but they continue to appear in frequent and recent. They should disappear entirely once deleted.

I can't agree more with all the comments below. You are lucky to have any customers at all with you slowest to respond to customer frustration. Just fix it. It is so confusing for my users

Please let us know how we can delete subsides that are no longer required on our SharePoint home page. It's becoming quite confusing for employees to distinguish where they should be placing documents.

Echoing all voices on here. The ability to undo one's mistakes (e.g. adding a Sharepoint site by accident) is a basic function that is missing.
Trying to incentivise other users in a team to keep a tidy folder structure is difficult if the frequent sites is a mess with old sites that are out of date/incorrect.

Illogical. If a site is deleted why would it appear in a list of frequently used sites. Having them there confuses / annoys users and discourages them to creating groups in the first place. Surely a quick win to hide them automatically?
