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'

Thanks. Yeah, I got that far, but it seemed like I ought to be able to go back and remove the clutter that was already there. I guess not.
The default on the number of recent items to be saved is supposedly 10. So why are there 831 items in my Recents folder? Just curious.
