Since your question is about Adobe Animate, I have moved it from the Acrobat Reader forum where you posted.

How to clear recent files on home screen with Adobe Animate 2022?

Legend

When Animate is closed, go to:

Win: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Animate\YourVersion\
Mac: HD\Users\YourUserName\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Animate\YourVersion\

There find a file, called AppPrefs.xml

Open it in a plain text editor and you will see a list of the recent files in <ustring> tags

Like this: <ustring>your file.fla</ustring>

Delete them all and save the file.

Open Animate. The recent files list will be empty.
