I have a bunch of old, no longer accessed files listed in the Files /
Open Recent list.  How do I delete one or more entries from the list? 
(Just house keeping)

Just click on them, if they no longer exist.

Thanks, typo.  However, some of the files really do exist.  I just
want to clean them out of the "Open Recent" list.

Consequently, if you want to delete some existing files, you could
rename or move them temporarily to a folder and then click on them.

At your own risk, you could try editing the environmentoptions.xml
file.  On my windows system, it is in
c:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\lazarus, in the Project files section.

Thanks, IPguy.
Editing the "environmentoptions.xml" file worked fine.  Would be nice
if the IDE offered a right-click on an Open Recent entry to "remove
from list" or something similar.
