How do you clear the FileOpen Recent folder so it shows no workflows?

Question

I have cleared the Open AutoSaved Files, but want to clear the workflows that are presented in the Open Recent folder too. I am not sure if this is done in a file on the backend or in the application.

Thanks in Advance!

@stanherring72,

Alteryx uses Windows Recent Files Directory for this feature:

C:\Users\[markf]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

It takes the .yxmd, .yxmc, .yxwz files from that directory.

Cheers,

Mark

Here are the steps to remove Open Recent Workflows:

1) Select File>>Open Recent>>Select the workflow you want to delete.2) If window appears that is below then select Yes. If Workflow opens, select File>>Save As>>Browse

3) You should see the workflow and where it is located.4) Close the workflow in Alteryx Designer.5) Delete the workflow in File Explorer and repeat steps 1-2 to make sure the Window appears and select Yes to remove this workflow from Open Recent.6) Delete Workflows from Recycle Bin also.
