How to Clear Recent a Files List in Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is used by graphics and Web designers alike to create and edit images. Photoshop helps you manage your image files more quickly and automate repetitive tasks. When you work with several image files, you may switch between files. You can access your files by using the file command in the toolbar or through Photoshop's file browser. A list of your recent files is displayed, serving as a helpful reminder of where they are, and allowing you to retrieve them quickly. You can choose the number of files Photoshop displays or clear the list of recent files.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Open Adobe Photoshop.

2. Check the recent list of files in Photoshop by clicking on "File" and "Open Recent."

3. Click the "Clear Recent" option from the bottom of the list to remove the recent files in memory.

4. Click "Edit," "Preferences" and "File Handling..." to change the number of recent files that Photoshop displays.

5. Choose "Recent file list contains" in the "Preferences" dialog box from its default number of "10" to the number you would like to see displayed. Then click on "OK."
