How to Stop InDesign from Automatically Opening Previous Files at Launch

Question

There must have been a crash months ago where these 4 files were open. Now everytime I load indesign it loads these same 4 files. Any idea how to stop this? There must be a crash cache somewhere that is stuck or some file I can just delete. It opens the actual files and shows them as "unsaved". An idlk file also shows up in that folder for each file (although maybe that is normal).

Show your hidden files - there must be a hidden file with .idlk extension

These are the recovery hidden files

Also look at the recovery files and temp files and delete them
