Wish to be able to clear Recents on the Home tab of the Creative Cloud desktop app

In the newest Creative Cloud, under 'home,' there are recent files. My suggestion is to add an option where these recent files can be cleared, similar to how they can be in Photoshop. I've spent 2+ hours on a support chat trying to rectify this, only to find out that it's not currently possible to clear the recents.

It’s a matter of privacy, ADOBE we should have the option choice to allow or not to allow the viewing of images in our recants view when opening the creative cloud app.

As in many instances you may have sensitive information or images that you are working on show up in the recants view pane, and if turn it is on, anyone would be able to view if you open the app giebnn how loarge onitors are now and PPL an easly view you monitor and see the resents view.   

ADOBE make a big song and dance about privacy but have no concern for its customers privacy given it cannot understand why PPL area asking for this option.

 

All it would take is the option to allow turn on or turn off the resents view, it not rockets science!.

How can ADOBE be so “naïve” as to why we are asking for the simple option to turn off the resents view in the desktop app. Hopefully ADOBE will have a LIGHT BULB MOMENET and fix this and provide the option to turn on or off the resents view in the APP?

i want to get rid of the recent files list on creative cloud desktop - i feel that it is stuffing me with things i dont want to see, thus that i have no control over my own app. I DID try to delete them, but next time i start up i see the same images sgain!

you can try clearing them in the apps that used them.

I'll tell you why @Kalvyn Rasquinha. Becuase when I opened up CC for work it pulled some spicy images I edited of my girlfriend to the recent tabs and thank god I wasn't sharing my screen or anything. Nevermind the fact I haven't touched those files in months, even if I just worked on them I want to be able to clear that so when I open the app to work in a public place I'm not showing her business to everyone.

Why do IT companies think it's OK to foist things like a recent files list or "memories" or automated albums on users?  It is not OK.  By all means build the functionality if you think some users will like it, but there needs to be a simpe way to turn off the feature.

I do not want "recent" files showing when I open Adobe Creative Cloud.  I don't need them to show and I don't want them to show. Period.

Please provide an option to turn it off.

Like in Photoshop, or on my actual physical desk, I like a tidy, clean
workspace. That's all.

Hi @cobpdesign. Thanks for providing feedback.

 

Can you help me better understand why you're asking for this? Are you seeing an issue with the recent files being listed for you?

 

Any other feedback on the new Home tab?
