Hello everyone.

 

In this tutorial I will show you how to disable the "Frequent" overview group in Ubuntu.

 

Let's see

 

Method 1

 

1. Download & install Dconf Editor from Ubuntu Software Center.

2. Open the app and go to the command shown below, then disable/turn off this option remember-app-usage :

/org/gnome/desktop/privacy/

Method 2

 

1. Open Terminal and get admin rights.

sudo su

2. Then disable the "Frequent" overview with this command :

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.privacy remember-app-usage false

Apply true parameter if you want to get back your "Frequent" overview.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.privacy remember-app-usage true

Enjoy it !
