Trash Preferences, that will clear the list.

do you realize that you can just double click on a premiere project and that will launch premiere pro and load that project?  Although the premiere "splash" screen is useful cause it shows the recent projects you've opened, it's not necesarily the best way for your workflow.   I've got a folder for my premiere pro projects that's automatically mirrored on my dropbox account.  All I have to do is find the project I want to load and double click on it.

From creative cloud, press Optn (Mac) or Alt (Win) and click on Open Premiere Pro. That will prompt you to clear your preferences. If you do, your recent projects will be gone from your welcome window. Here's the link with a video to the Adobe site: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/reset-preferences.html

WOW. Imagine you wrote a big blog in MS Word and in order to clear it from your recent file list you have to delete the file.  How backward can Adobe be. Honestly, they need to understand their customers better.

I've been having pretty much the same problem... But! with Adobe After Effects.

 

The screen that's displayed when After Effects first opens (I'm guessing that's called the splash screen) correctly removes any of my old project files that I've deleted. However, the "Open Recent" list within the file menu doesn't remove them. If I select any of the deleted project file names from the "Open Recent" file menu option list, then not surprisingly it says it cannot locate the file. Now you might hope that'd remove it from the list... but it doesn't!

 

Anyway the solution similar to as mentioned is to simply edit the: "Adobe After Effects 22.2 Prefs" text file. Note: After Effects must be closed when editing the text file or else it can repopulate the file, which must happen either during or when closing After Effects.

 

I've attached a screenshot that shows the file location and which lines to delete = 3 lines per project file.
