Open recent clear files

Just upgraded to MU4.4. Is there really no way to clear 'open recent' files? There was an option previously for clearing all the files. I do not see that with 4.4.... files/open recent. I would like to clear a lot of scores I will not be needing to open easily.

Sounds like you may have the problem I had for a while. If you cannot use File / Open recent / Clear recent files or if you want to modify the list rather than empty it completely ... and if you feel confident of your computer skills, you can try modifying the .JSON file that I describe in Delete old songs from library at timestamp Mar 11, 2024 - 16:23.

In that thread I described how I found that there were two files that had "recent files" lists and, once I deleted both of them, MuseScore re-built it/them correctly.

NO!! Not 'that' sure to do what I was reading. Obviously this is an issue with MU4.x versions. I thought I had 'clear recent' in 4.2, but it has been several months since I last cleared files from the list. This is a mess. Another little issue that may 'be' difficult to find or correct or worse interest to do so. Your earlier post were back early in the year and there have been a few updates since and nothing was done. Only seems worse.
Thanks for the thoughts.
