Clearing the Recents folder

My Recents folder has kept track of too many entries. I figured out how to limit the number that it will keep, but how do I clear the entries that are already there? The GO menu does not have a "Clear Recents" choice.

You can't remove files from Recents. What you can do is remove the folder from the sidebar: Finder, Preferences, Navigationbar: uncheck 'Recent'
