remove option for recently used files

[sven_puder1]

Deleted .pbix workbooks are still seen in the recently used file list. Unfortunately there is no possibility to remove it directly from that list to have a better overview. Especially "experimental" analysis I often start with a working title. But when I publish it to my collueges I want to use a more userfriendly name. And when I rename the document the older name still stays under recent. So for me it would be helpful to have an option like in the office suite to remove such files.

Please add this feature to remove or clear the recently used files list. It is very annoying with so many old files no longer in use there. Thank you.

I have the issue that recent items are not shown, only old items (or possibly most reviewed items?). The feature does not work how I (and I guess others) would have thought it would have been intended.

Please add the option to clear recent used files - all other MS products have this feature, why not PowerBI?

It seems that there is already a solution for this. From the "Get started" screen, if you disable it could be accessed from File\Get started, and in the list of recent documents, you could right click one of them and in the context menu will give you the option to "Remove from list" that specific document or "Clear unpinned items".

The workaround to clear from the "Get Started" menu is a bit unintuitive, especially if you don't use the Get Started menu, can functionality for this be added to the Open Report menu?

Four years on and still no simple way to clear the list of recent files?

The recently used file list in PBI is a disaster. They've done it with office products, I don't understand why they can't apply the same thing to PBI. It's such a simple thing in my mind, and SO annoying at the moment. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.
