You can press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen; the cursor changes to a horizontal bar
which you can use to delete an item from the recent file list. Repeat
for each additional item to delete. When doing this, be careful so that
you don't delete something that you want to keep.
Alternatively, you can click Tools | Options, General tab. Clear the
check mark next to "Recently used file list" and click OK. Then click
Tools | Options again and re-check the option. Click OK. This procedure
deletes all items on the recent files list.
