You can only remove custom page sizes you added to new pages. See the garbage can on top right.

You could make your favorite sizes under saved tab and use that. I agree si annoying seeing those sizes you do not use every day. Would be nice if you could get teh garbage can on all of them.

Hello @Mr. Giraffe,Would you mind changing the Number of Recent Files to Display to 0 under Illustrator's preferences and then clicking on OK to see if it helps?Once the list is cleared, you can change the preference again to set the number of recent files you would like Illustrator to remember.Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help. Anubhav
