Clearing Recent Files in Power BI

I am reaching out as a beginner in Power BI to suggest a feature that I find surprisingly absent from the platform. Unlike other Microsoft Office applications, Power BI does not seem to offer a straightforward way to clear recent files.

 

Despite thorough searches through support forums and AI-powered resources, I have been unable to find a solution. This functionality is crucial for users who need to manage and organize their workspace efficiently. The ability to clear recent files would enhance user experience by ensuring privacy and decluttering the workspace, similar to what is already available in other Microsoft Office applications.

 

I would greatly appreciate it if the Power BI development team could consider adding this feature in future updates. Additionally, I am curious to understand the design decision behind not making this feature more accessible.

Thank you in advance for considering this suggestion and for continually improving Power BI.

Hi @Alex_MN ,

 

Thanks for your feedback! If you would like to suggest feature improvements, you may vote the idea and comment here to improve this feature. It is the right place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Hello @v-xiaoyan-msft ,

Thank you for sharing the idea of idea! 🙂

I have voted for one that’s already been proposed. Given the number of votes and the responses from the team, it seems likely that it will be implemented in the next era—after the extinction of humans.
