Deleted .pbix workbooks are still seen in the recently used file list. Unfortunately there is no possibility to remove it directly from that list to have a better overview.

Especially "experimental" analysis I often start with a working title. But when I publish it to my collueges I want to use a more userfriendly name. And when I rename the document the older name still stays under recent.

So for me it would be helpful to have an option like in the office suite to remove such files.

RE: remove option for recently used files

I have the issue that recent items are not shown, only old items (or possibly most reviewed items?). The feature does not work how I (and I guess others) would have thought it would have been intended.

RE: remove option for recently used files

Please add this feature to remove or clear the recently used files list. It is very annoying with so many old files no longer in use there. Thank you.

RE: remove option for recently used files

This seems like a very obvious and simple to solve issue

RE: remove option for recently used files

Yes, the option to clear recently used files is needed. The option to clear all or right click the recent file and delete from the list.

The recent list only displays 9 files. If you are working on file #10, it does not show up in the recent list. As suggest by Wims, an option to select the number of files displayed in the recently used files.

RE: remove option for recently used files

This should have been implemented on the home (preview)

Check the permissions before populating the tiles/reports/dashboards.
