Hi there,
does anyone know a way to remove the entry “Recent Items” from the Apple menu completely? Since macOS Ventura, setting the option “Last Documents, Apps, Servers” to zero in System Settings does not remove the entry “Servers” from the “Recent Items” submenu. Nothing will be recorded there, but the main menu entry does not go away.

That must be a bug. There are three files in users > username > Library > com.apple.sharedfilelist that seem to be relevant, namely
When you follow the hints given at https://scriptingosx.com/2016/11/editing-property-lists/, and use plutil to read the contents of these files, you will see that the value of com.apple.LSSharedFileList.MaxAmount in the first two files is set to zero, while the respective value in the third one remains 10, when you set Last Documents, Apps, Servers in System Settings to 0.
I haven’t found a way to change this.
Okay, for anyone who’s interested, here is the solution. Use at your own risk.
