Hi guys

I'm in the latest CC2017 version. The other day I had to go through a whole bunch of old files for a particular item, which was hidden. The end result is my welcome screen is now totally cluttered with this old stuff. OK, it's a minor irritation, but is there a way of clearing these old files out from 'Recent Files'?

Regards,

Graham

I use, Shift+Opt/Alt+Cmd/Ctrl and then start PS. Photoshop will be set to factory default and you'll have a clean slate. Hope this helps :-

Sure that will reset all his settings back to Adobe default settings. I would not think that is what they would want.

I do not enable the start up work space which is what I think you are referring to as the welcom screen, There is a Photoshop preferent for how may recient files should be displayed in recient list. I do know if the will effevt the start workspace, The recient files workspace has more or less been removed from CC 2017.
