Office 2013 Save As location

I have read a lot of info and posts about the Save As location and the BackStage menu items. Lots of users asking if this can be changed or modified and not a lot of concrete answers.  I have also perused the developer site and while there appears to be a way to "add" a custom function or location, there did not appear a way to remove already configured content.

My question is simple:

"Can I remove all locations that appear for me in the Save As page and configure custom locations IE> Corporate Site and Personal Site"

If this is not possible in 2013 will it be possible in 2016?  I don't want to select my location from Recently saved locations I only want to see two options for Saving As, as noted above.

Thanks in advance for the info

That list is from the File, Account (in Outlook, it's Office Account) - it's a list of places you are signed in to. Sign out to remove them from the list.

Are the custom locations local or network drives? Those can be pinned on the save as page.

When I look at my Office Word program the Save As locations show my personal One Drive even though I am NOT signed in and connected. Are you suggesting that I sign out completely from my office365 account and use the office applications as if "only connected locally"

We would like to:

A) remain connected or signed in but B) have control over what our Save As locations will be IE> company policy is to save only to CorpDocs library in SharePoint and save personal documents only to MySites in SharePoint.

If our users sign out then they will not be able to save to these locations.  The requirement here is to ONLY provide the two locations I have mentioned.  I do not want to see Local options or recent saved locations at all.
