    How to delete recent items history when you right-click Explorer


    Hi! Sorry if this is a noobish question, but I couldn't find the answer in any forum.

    When I right-click the Exlorer icon on the taskbar, it shows me some recent items. I would like to delete this history. How can I do this?

    Below in the attachments is an image showing the history so you guys know what I'm talking about. Alternatively, here is a link to the screenshot I took: https://prnt.sc/m6pex6

    Thanks for your attention!

    Hi, that's a jump list. If you go to the huge Tutorial section and search for
    jump

    you will find e.g.
    Reset and Clear Recent Items and Frequent Places in Windows 10 | Tutorials
    Change Maximum Number of Items in Jump Lists in Windows 10 | Tutorials
    and more.

    Windows 10 Tutorial Index | Tutorials
    Hope that's useful.
