Clear the "recent Project" list?

How does one clear projects from the "Select a recent Project" list?
I can't find a cache file or a preference to reset.

Thanks

Hi Marc,

It is in a Preference file on Mac, and in the Registry on Windows. As always, edit at your own risk.

On Mac, the US pref file is here:
BOOTDRIVE:Users:USERNAME:Library:Preferences:com.graphisoft.AC 12.0.0 USA v1.plist

Attached is a view of the section containing the recent file settings, opened with the Property List Editor that is part of the OS X developer tools, if you have them installed.

Cheers,
Karl

If you have an application like Onyx installed it will clear out recent listings as well. It's a free download if you don't have it.

Thanks Karl
That did the trick.

(... and WC too, I just loaded Onyx.)

delete Recent Documents (Project) 

thats all

This is a reply to a very old post.

While it still may be valid, this will delete ALL from the recent list.

In the new versions with the start-up dialogue box, you can remove individual files from the recent list.

Whether it is displayed as icons or a list - just click the little blue delete cross.
