deleting recent files

[marlene26]

in the drop down menu where you bring up recent files, I want to delete some of them but can't figure out how to do this, thanks for any help.

There is no Delete Project function in Audacity - you have to do it manually - it has been requested as a Feature Request.

An Audacity project called <project_name> consists of a number of things
1. a top level master project file called <project_name>.aup
2. a folder at the same filing level called <project_name>_data
3. and within the folder a sub-folder structure with lots of little .au files - segments of the recording (mainly audio clips - but a couple of them are graphics files)

So you need to delete the .aup files and their related folders - and note that this will NOT remove them from the recent files list in Audacity.

Thgis elf has responded to a query like this before - so I managed to dig up my old response:
