How to remove recents list

Since upgrading to iOS8 on my iPad Mini when I press the Home key and the list of currently running apps show above that screen there is now a Recents list. I assume this has come from the Cloud as recent phone calls made on my iPhone. The iPhone has a slightly different list.
I don't find that list helpful, useful or in any way a good use of screen space. I would love to disable/hid/loose the Recents list and regain the screen space allotted for that "feature".
The iOS8 for iPad book is silent about recents. Please can someone help me get ride of them?
Thanks

You can turn off both the Recents and Favorites that appear in the App Switcher by using the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Contacts section > Show in App Switcher > turn off Recents and, if desired, Favorites.

How to remove a list from a page ?

I added a list to a page and then later decided it would be easier to add the list to page 0. Now I can't find how to remove the list from the page.

Ok sorry I understood you wrong then.
I tried to recontruct your problem and did the following things.
1. Created a new list in: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Shared Components>Lists>Create / Edit List
2. Created a new region on page 2: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 2>Create Region Type: List, Name:"test1"
3. Created a new region on page 1: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 1>Create Region Type: List, Name: "test2"
4. Deleted region "test1" on page 2
5. List and region still survived on page 1. :D

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.

How to remove Recent contact in messages

I want to know if there's a way to remove SMS contact history... for example go into messages, click on new message, then type a + and it starts listing recent phone numbers even if there not in your contacts... I have a slew of these from one off txts i've sent especially from group messages if i reply to someone?

I would so love the answer to this too! I regularly have to text one offs for work and it is so annoying that these come up.
I think there used to be a similar problem with Mail and now you have the option to Remove as it has a little arrow next to it.
No idea why Apple feel the need to save this info - you want to regularly SMS that person - you save their number!

How to remove recently accessed channel from desktop session in sun one 7

Actually we are facing one issue with the desktop session . We created a container and then deployed our jsr 168 portlet in that. Now if we are accessing that portlet through http://host:port/portal/dt?provider=<containerchannel>/<channelfor jsr168> we are actually able to see the portlet. Now we kept the link in one of the menu items of enterprise sample. Now if we click on that link our portlet gets displayed in new window. But the problem is if we refresh the enterprise sample page then it is showing our portlet instead of the content that should be shown in enterprise sample. Can we remove the channel from the desktop session.
Any help will be highly appreciated

Change your iCloud ID password and the old device will no longer have access to your iCloud account. You can change it here: https://iforgot.apple.com/iForgot/iForgot.html. After doing so, you'll need to change it on all your devices too.

How to delete an individual file from the'Recents' list on an Android tablet? Not the original file in the documents library.

I have a samsung note 8 tablet. I used to be able to delete files from the recents list, but don't know how to do it in the newest version.

I don't think you can remove just one file from this list.

How do I remove "Recent Items" Documents from the apple menu?

I've been searching for an answer to this question for the better part of 3 hours now. W
Several iterations of osx ago, there was the ability to separately limit how many recent items were shown for Applications, Documents and Servers. Over the years, I simply installed a newer version of osx on top, and surprisingly my recent items always eliminated the Documents from the list.
I've since done a clean install of mavericks after installing an SSD, and i've lost this small but important part of my work flow. No matter what I've tried to remove the documents from Recent Items, it always shows up. I can still boot into my old HDD (which is now installed as a supplementary drive and also updated and running mavericks 10.9.2), and see from clicking on the Apple Menu > Recent Items that it only displays Applications and Servers.
Try as hard as I can, I can't simply figure out how to remove the documents from the recent items menu. I've tried editing the com.apple.recentitems.plist file, to show 0 items for documnets, but this never seems to work. (I've since read that this file is simply rewritten on logout.) Strangely, if I go into the old setup System Preferences, Recent Items: it is showing as None. I also suspect that maybe I used Tinker Tools or some other utility to change some command line preference (using the gui) several years back. Not sure how I could investigate what would need to be done to compare files or otherwise figure out how to remove the documents section from the recent items menu.
It's starting to drive me crazy. Anyone?

The Apple menu is at the top left hand corner of your screen, click on it and about this Mac is the first choice.
Click twice on Version to get serial number.

Open contacts list, favourites should be at the top of list with stars by them, select the one you want to unfavourite, long hold and a pop up menu gives you the options to call-send message-Remove from favourites_send as contact card-Delete-or Mark. Chose the option to remove from favourites and they won't show on home screen any more !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

How do I remove recent searches from safari

How do I remove recent searches from my iPad?

Thanks for your reply!
Yes! I already turn off the autofill. But the list still come out when I typing in the search bar.
Kenny
Hi Kenny,
Re: Turning off autofill in the
address field...
The alternative to that is to clear your history and
clean up your bookmarks to remove any entries that
you no longer use (Safari uses both to check for url
autofill items).
