Deleting Recent Files

I have been unable to discover how to delete files no longer wanted from the FILES/RECENT FILES listing. I seem to get the listing whittled down but then find when I later visit RECENT FILES that many of the old undesired files are back. How can I get rid of old files in the RECENT FILES listing permanently?

Many thanks for your help in advance

I don't think you can - you can delete the .aup file and its associated data folder - but this has to be done by hand as there is no Delete Project function in Audacity. IIRC there is an outstanding feature request to provide one.

If you upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12 there's a "Clear" option in the "Recent Files" list.
Audacity 1.3.12 is highly recommended. http://audacityteam.org/download/
