Disable recent files

Is it possible to disable the recent files? I didn't find anything in the options, is there perhaps a registry entry that can be changed?

I want to disable it because I don't need it, 99% of the times I open a pdf file only once, read it and then delete it, so the recent files is just a list of useless, deleted files.

    Hispamme3‌,

    Its not possible to disable the feature as it is a core part of Adobe Acrobat DC/ Reader DC.

    However you can turn off the listing of Recent files.

    Open Acrobat, navigate to Edit menu -> Preferences -> Document -> Set "Documents in Recently used list" to 0.

    Click OK to confirm.

    Regards,

    Meenakshi
