How can I delete my recent files without removing them from my Document Cloud?

Hi Brian_M_59

Do you want to clear your recent files list on your Acrobat DC software?

Hello Rahul,

My problem was that I hadn’t seen that I could clear the recent files from my own Acrobat DC program, and was deleting the recent files from the Cloud instead. I now see what I was doing wrong there, but I still can’t find out how to delete the Recent locations in My Computer.

I am also a little confused as to why one needs a ‘recent files’ list, if all of the files are included in the document cloud in their respective folders as well.

Regards,

Brian

Hi Brian_M_59,

Well, you can clear recent files list from Acrobat DC using the 'Clear recent files' option. Please refer the screenshot below :

Moreover, to clear recent places in 'My computer', i would need to know the version of OS which you are using so that i can assist you more accurately. However i would still recommend you to go to your 'recent places' folder and right click anywhere on the empty space and you would probably see a option 'Clear recent files list' in your context menu, if its there, you have to click it and your recent item list will be deleted.

Recent files list feature is like a 'Quick access' feature, it helps a person to access the most recently used files, it also lets one keep track of what files one was last working upon.

Hello Rahul,

Many thanks for that information. I have recently sent several large files to someone, and been commended on how easy it was to access them. Seems to be a very good scheme that your colleagues have created.
