Enable clearing In-DB connection history

[ssjl]

See this community link for context:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/There-is-no-option-to-clear-the-In-...

tl;dr: 

An option to clear the In-DB File History is not available in the Designer's GUI. If this feature is required, it's recommended to open an Idea on the Alteryx Community to submit an enhancement request.

Please implement this as an idea; I need to clear some In-DB connections that are no longer valid and in a managed environment, accessing the registry is laughable.

Thank you!

Thank you. I recommend Alteryx place such guidelines a little more prominently on the New Idea page. See below for a screenshot that fails to show any link to the guidelines you provided above. Please also notice that the text placement to the side makes it far too easy to overlook. The most problematic thing about this process is the burden your process places on someone with an idea. I have neither the time nor inclination to revisit this to make a use case for that which should be obvious to the product team.
