How do I delete items out of my "recent documents" list?

You have to use vba code to do that.
The code shown in the link below (from a post of mine last year)...
removes non-existent files from the Recent Files List and
adds the names of any open & saved workbooks to the list.

If you want to remove ALL of them, or the oldest (highest number),
choose Tools/Options/General and uncheck the Recently used file list
checkbox (or set the number lower).
