Running Windows? (If so, which version?) If so, do you mean "recent
documents" of Windows or OpenOffice (the latter being, of course, a subset
of the former)? They keep different lists of links to files, and the
filesystem does not enforce referential integrity: when you delete a file,
it's still up to you (if you care) to delete all links to it.
If you mean Windows, then...
a) If you want to delete file references individually:
Open Windows Explorer,
then "My Computer",
C:,
"Documents [and Settings]" (nomenclature changes from version to version),
then pick your profile and, under that the folder...
"Recent" (which may be displayed as "My Recent Documents", in the cutesy
manner of Windows)).
Then you can just delete any links that are no longer valid.
OR
b) If you just want to clear everything from that list, Windows provides a
convenient way:
Right-click on "Start". Choose "Start Menu" tab, then "Advanced" tab.
At the bottom of that pane is the "Recent Documents" setup, allowing you to
turn off that feature or clear its list.
If you mean the OO list, I don't know where that one is kept, but I'm sure
someone here will chime in with the info if you need it.
