How do I Clear Recent Files List on Creative Cloud App Home Screen?

As far as I can tell there is no way to clear (or disable) the list of recent files on the home screen of the Creative Cloud desktop app. Considering I mostly use Lightroom, I'd rather not have these images come up when sharing my screen with clients, and I don't think my clients would feel great about having their private photos on display for others to see.

Oh my!   Why on Earth are you sharing your Creative Cloud log-in with clients???  That's so risky and unnecessary.

 

Collaborate on folders:

 

  • Select the folder. Select the Share icon and then choose Invite.

    Choose whether you want to give the collaborators Edit permissions (Can edit) or View permissions (Can view). The permissions apply to all the collaborators whose email addresses you entered.

I think the OP was just showing the screen on his computer to clients, not sharing the login.

Enter to https://lightroom.adobe.com/home

Select the files you desire and delete them. They will not show as recent anymore.

Thank you! For me, it was in express.adobe.com but still the same procedure.

I had the same problem... It looks like that's stuff that lightroom decided to upload to the cloud. I didn't even have Lightroom for the last 5 years and there were nothing but files showing up that were 5 years old. I just installed lightroom. opened it and there were all the files so I just deleted all of them. It looks like that worked.

there's no setting to do that.  for applicable apps, you can make (some) suggestions to adobe here, https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/x-productkb/global/how-to-user-voice.html
