Recents folder my recents folder never gets any smaller. So if I download something new and want to go to the recents folder to find it, I have to dig through thousands of files. If I clear this folder, are the files still stored where I saved them? Or does deleting it int the recent folder delete it altogether from the hd?

Accidentally messed up my Recents folder. How do I fix this? I accidentally pressed - on the Recents raw query whilst looking at the search tags. I can't find a way to fix it.
