I found this online and adapted to BBEdit.  Change "bbedit" to "textwrangler" 
if necessary.

This Terminal command clears the list.

defaults delete com.barebones.bbedit.LSSharedFileList

These commands disable or limit the list.

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit NSRecentDocumentsLimit 0
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit.LSSharedFileList RecentDocuments -dict-add 
MaxAmount 0

These should undo the changes so the list is enabled again.

defaults delete com.barebones.bbedit NSRecentDocumentsLimit
defaults delete com.barebones.bbedit.LSSharedFileList RecentDocuments

If necessary you can restart the dock using this command.

killall Dock

The preferences files are in ~/Library/Preferences/.  You can apply these 
commands to any app using the identifier which names the preference files in 
that folder.
