Having individual recent folders show up in quick access is a nice option to have, but I prefer the "recent places" approach of Win81, which was a single folder in favorites that you clicked that opened up to recent folders.
Do you know how to add that? It's easy to add "Recent items," as that's just a shortcut to:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items
But Recent Places is apparently a filtered view of "Recent items" showing just folders.
Hello Casey,
Here's the locations for them. :)

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations
Yes, the "Recent Folders" link was what used to be so handy before Win10. Getting that, a "special" folder, to appear either in Quick Access, or anywhere else that's handy in File Explorer, is going to require another trick that I haven't found yet.
Brink I assume if I want to delete a folder from quick access I follow Step 4 ?
Hey mate, :)
You could unpin the folder from quick access to remove it.

Oh right, thanks Brink :)
I don't want or need the Desktop folder link in my Quick Access, yet every time I unpin it from Quick Access it's back again within a day or two. Any idea why this keeps happening?
