There appears to be no way to remove these Recently Saved bookmarks from the Safari sidebar in the latest MacOS Tahoe. Worse still, the preview bookmarks appear as large image icons (see attached image), which are also impossible to remove. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

The strange thing about these large 'recently saved' bookmarks is that if you have your bookmarks sidebar set to a reasonable width to view your bookmarks list then there is only room on the top row for one and a half large icons across. So if you really do want to view any more and you click on the 'Recently Saved' arrow then you are given a vertical list in compact form anyway! So what is the point of them?
It's worse than gift surprises; what if you are stopped at customs entering the US and the list of items you never actuall. bookmarked is now available for search by any ICE doofus? What if you look for a nice bar for a Friday evening get-together, then you are in an accident that is other driver's fault, but your new bookmark is searched at legal discovery and used to draw inference you were at fault because you must have been intox'ed. No apple or other dweeb has the competence to decide what I OR ANYONE ELSE wants to save in a bookmark or incriminating evidence list.
I moved all my recent bookmarks to a folder on my desktop then deleted those in the side bar. Good for now until I save another bookmark and the issue comes back.
And that comes after how many about not being able to stop Safari from auto-completing URLs from history, even after you delete all history?
Feature?
How do I permanently remove Recently Saved bookmarks from the Safari sidebar in MacOS Tahoe?
