Cleaning no longer exsisted files from menu in linux

[maxemilian]

It’s great that recently edited files automatically add this to the menu in cinnamon.

However, it continues to show the file that is no longer in the menu. This disappears if I don’t click for a while
But I can’t do that I click unconsciously, I’m in a loop.

So, how can I remove manually?

I’m not familiar with Cinnamon, but on my system, the recently accessed files are listed in ~/.local/share/RecentDocuments/. You should be able to delete the entries manually from there.

Thanks, I didn’t know recently file mechanic in linux

that file located in cinnamon under ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
So I deleted following lines in this file…

          </bookmark:applications>                                                
        </metadata>                                                               
      </info>                                                                     
    </bookmark>           

Its solved. Also, privacy in start menu let us change some setting about recent files.
