Steps to delete unwanted files from recent documents list

[Rick ribbentrop]

What are the step by step steps I need to make to delete unwanted files
from the recent document list ? I have approximately 10 files I only want
to keep two or three . I'm not sure why this is so hard to get an answer I
went to the forums but it doesn't give you a complete answer it just
recycles you around very confusing thank you for your help
