How clear Recent Documents?

How do you clear the recent documents list in the welcome
screen of Fireworks CS3?
I want to clear it out, not turn it off or anything.

The only way I can think of is by deleting the Fireworks
Preferences
text file. That will clear every thing in Fireworks memory,
but it will
also remove any customizations you've made to the UI, and
reset all the
program defaults.

11.4.0 How to CLEAR Recent Documents? Prior version had a delete option. Run 4.1.1 on a 64Gb Excite tablet. Thanks

I just updated my tablet to the new version. I find no options to clear/delete Recent Documents. Where do I find that option? Or do they self de-solve in time?
Thanks

This is Senko from earlier in the thread something went wrong somewhere and after a few attempts to retrieve a lost password and email to that aodbreader-android address (failed every time) I gave up and made a new account.
I use a large amount of manuals and pdfs in my work and will often open 10+ different ones a day. Previously I could regularly clear recent documents so I only had the ones I was using at the time in recent documents but I had the original I could reopen if needed.
With the removal of this feature recent documents is utterly useless as I have dozens of "recent" documents making it almost impossible to find one specific one as its easy to scroll past the one I want. However deleting the original is no use because I may well need it again a few days later so I'd be constantly deleting and reinstalling files. Compared to the previous convenience of just clearing recent documents so I only actually have the ones relevant to what I'm doing at the time in recents but being able to retrieve another if it turns out to be useful.
Currently I don't bother to use recents at all but will just open documents go to the relevant folder and open the one I want since I have 20+ files in my recents list and don't want to permaenntly delete any of them. This feature is one I would greatly appreciate being restored as it makes my work life much easier.

How do I clear the recent documents screen on the android application when the clear icon is no longer visible?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but the clear recent documents icon is no longer visible as formerly experienced.

Hi,
The 'Clear Recents' button which was provided in previous releases only *cleared* the Recent list and did not delete the files. The files stayed in your document hierarchy. This button has been removed in the latest release. For deleting the files, you can go to the Documents/Acrobat.com tab and delete the files individually. However, please note that the files will be permanently deleted from your device. Please let us know if this is not a viable option for you. We would like to hear more about your use case.
Thanks,
Mehwish

"Recent Documents"

There is a system folder somewhere on my Blackberry named "Recent Documnets". It has opened several times when I closed a document, but not every time. When it is open, its own menu has an option to clear Recent Documents. I seem to be unable to return to the folder Recent Documents when I want to. Using the Search function is not successful in finding the folder. How can I find the folder Recent Documents?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found it. It's in Applications/World to Go

How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page?

Have some confidential docs that I don't want to appear when the program is launched. How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page and the "open recent" list? thx

It's not an option in the prefs. It's a hidden file that makes up part of the preference set (as far as I know, most, or all of the seetings you can adjust inside ID's prefences dialog are actually saved in the other half of the set, InDesign Defaults). For more information, see Replace Your Preferences

I can't clear recent history. It worked on 6.0 but on 6.0.2 I can't do this. Also my bookmarks are lost. How can I fix it? Old bookmark archives don't work. Error: Can't read data.

The day I updated my Firefox to version 6.0.2, I had some problems. The first time I want to clear recent history as "everything" Firefox cleared my all bookmarks and history page (Ctrl + H or Ctrl + Shift + H) but visited websites are still on address bar. They are on Firefox Menu > History section. Bookmarks are not important, how can we fix Clear Recent History function?
Troubleshooting Information is in Turkish, if it is not useful I can send that text in English. Please send an e-mail for this.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Can someone please help me figure out how to "clear" recent email addresses used in Mail?

Can someone please help me figure out how to “clear” recent email addresses used in Mail? For example, as I begin typing a name/email address in the “To:” field, Mail begins suggesting addresses that I’ve previously used. I don’t want any suggestions unless they are in my contacts.
Another example: When using MS Outlook, it will also remember and suggest email accounts previously used, but I can arrow down and delete an account from the list so it won’t automatically popup or suggest in the future.
I appreciate any guidance in this matter.

The iOS email app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which cannot be turned off. The email address autofill feature when addressing an email pulls from contacts and from the list of previous recipients which can't be prevented. There is no option to clear the list of previous recipients - not at the present time anyway.
If you don't want any suggestions, select from contacts instead when addressing an email.

How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
Thank you for helping.

George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
IMPORTANT:
Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
Good luck and enjoy.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Mini Bridge: how to clear recent files/folders?

Hi all,
I am a new user of Photoshop CS5.1 Extended and have a question about Mini Bridge. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and I'm using the 64-bit version of Photoshop.
My question is: how do I clear the Recent Files and Recent Folders lists from the navigation pane of Mini Bridge?
In Bridge itself I have set the 'number of recent items' to zero. I can't see any equivalent setting in Mini Bridge.
The reason for asking is that prior to purchasing and installing the Production Premium Suite, I demoed the Web Premium Suite, including Fireworks. Even though Fireworks is now uninstalled and I can find no reference to it in the Windows Registry, Fireworks has its own submenu of recent files in Mini Bridge. I can't figure out where this information is stored.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Ok, I just figured this out.
In Bridge (not Mini Bridge), it's the Reveal Recent toolbar icon, then "Clear Recent Files" and/or "Clear Recent Folders".
This is a bit counter-intuitive, considering that "number of recent items to display" in Bridge was already set to zero, but hey ho.
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else finds the thread and is curious.

Hello.
I have no idea and you should contact Microsoft for support. This is Firefox's support forum.
Thank you for your understanding.

How to clear recents on menu items?

When I right click on menu items,such as on pages or numbers, how can I clear recents for that menu?

Hey, rskern, thought I'd just share the solution I finally discovered while posting on another thread about this issue. This worked for me, at least in Mountain Lion:
If you clear the offending application from the Dock, as in drag it out of the dock, it seems to clear whatever weird cache is kept there. If you then reopen the app, and drag it in the dock so it stays there, it will update dynamically again, so when you use the "Clear Recents" menubar item, it will clear it in the Dock's menu (and Mission Control) too, even while the app is still open. Again, I just found this, so I don't know how long it'll take before that Dock menu seems to "get stuck" again, but it seems to clear it at least temporarily when you do that.
Hope this helps!
