When the program is started, the files in the folder indicated in the path at the bottom left are always loaded ... is there a way to ensure that no files are loaded when opened?

> Go to Options \> Directories and tick "start from this directory" but leave "Favorite directory" blank. This will make Mp3tag start with an empty file list.

ok this is done, but how can you also delete the list of folders used at the bottom left above the cover image?

You would have to remove the whole input field.  
You cannot clear the list - unless you delete the file mp3tag.cfg every time but that would mean that you also loose a couple of other settings.
