    If you delete the file on the drive. When you click on the link in the recent list, you will get an error message that it can not find the file and will remove that link from the list.

    Hi,

    I choosed to clear the recent files from (Files-Open recent- Clear recent ) but they also have been removed from my Mac drive so, is there any way to recover and restore them? as they are too urgent for me and i wanted only to remove them from the recent list not from my drive.

    Appreciate your prompt support.

      "they also have been removed from my Mac drive"

      Clear Recent File List​, as the name suggests, does not remove files on disk. You must have removed them somehow else.

      I'm still confused. I deleted the file from my Desktop (on a mac) and it still shows in Recent. I click on the photo in Photoshop, I get the missing error, but it doesn't remove the missing file from the Recent list. How do I remove individual files from the recent list without clearing the whole list?

        I know you were talking about  the drive   That  it removes the link when you delete that photo

        Here's what I want to do I've got recent projects  the link is Already Obviously gone   

        The pictures are still there   How do I delete them?

          That needs to be done in your file browser. Explorer on Windows or finder on a Mac. It can also be done with Adobe bridge. Find the file then hit the delete key.

          File>Open Recent  At the bottom of the list is clear recent file list.

            sliprooster --I did not explain it well ---what I meant was if you have say 10 items on the list in the open recent file can you just clear 2 or 3 of them and leave the rest on the list. ( I'm thinking of when I make a major error and start again and I just want get rid of the attempt with the error )
