Hunt around in the registry a little and you will see a list of all the recent files.
You can clear the contents of those entries.
Don't delete the entry just modify it to be empty.
Be carefull when modifying the registry.
This should be safe enough but you can do some serious damage if you are not confident editing the registry.
