2. Modifying Settings File (Advanced):

  • You can also modify the settings file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to disable history tracking. Add the following lines to the file (create it if it doesn't exist):

Code

     [Settings]     gtk-recent-files-max-age=0     gtk-recent-files-limit=0
  • Then, remove the file holding the recently used data: rm ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.

These steps will help you manage and clear your recent files history in Ubuntu MATE.
