I have tried "Unfollow", I have remove the groups from Azure, I have used PowerShell to delete those 3 old sites, nothing works. I been in a battle with those 3 tiles for 6 days now. Any real solution out there?
Also, what happened what Tobias wrote "TobiasAT commented · April 11, 2018 12:48". "Just to mention, this is a bug. In February I opened a support case for the issue. MS will implement a global fix at the end of April, or in May.". Again, Any real solution out there?

I have been following this for almost 2 year but I think I found a potential solution:
First: frequent site is somehow tied to Office Graph and Delve. So you need to disable Office graph in SharePoint admin center -> Setting, select "Don't allow access to Office Graph."
Then open your Delve, go to setting -> Feature setting, disable document tracking.
Finally, go to SharePoint main page (where the frequent site is listed), go to Site settings -> Search -> Search and offline availability. click "Reindex site" to trigger a site crawl.
Log out and wait for 1 hour, log back in, and Voila!! frequent site is empty.
I have tried on my account and it works.

Wait, it looks like this might be fixed. I was having the same issue, and then I noticed that not only was my removed site still being listed, but this removed site was also listed under Following. So I "unfollowed" (click the little star) the removed site and it was no longer listed under Following. Some time later (couple of hours I think), the site was actually gone from my Frequent Sites list. I checked my users and their Frequent Sites lists are not listing the removed site either.
I realize my situation is not significant (I'm working with only 1 site) but maybe unfollowing sites eventually removes the sites from the Frequent Sites list?

Just to mention, this is a bug. In February I opened a support case for the issue. MS will implement a global fix at the end of April, or in May.
