Your recent file list has been erased, and you\u2019ll no longer see the files you\u2019ve recently opened in the File menu or on the \u201cHome\u201d screen when you first open Photoshop. But new files will still be added to the list when you open them.

But if you open more files after that, you\u2019ll see them in the list again. To get rid of the Recent File List\u2014and hide the recent files from the \u201cHome\u201d screen, click \u201cEdit\u201d in the menu bar. Next, select Preferences, then choose \u201cFile Handling\u201d in the menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-810820 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/file_handling_1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"In Photoshop, select Edit &gt; Preferences, then &quot;File Handling&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"373\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When the Preferences window opens, look toward the bottom of the window and set the \u201cRecent File List Contains\u201d option to the number \u201c0\u201d (zero) using the text box beside it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-810821\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/recent_file_list_contains.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Set &quot;Recent File List Contains&quot; to &quot;0&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"188\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After that, click \u201cOK,\u201d and Photoshop will save your changes and close the Preferences window. From now on, you\u2019ll no longer see the list of recently opened files in the File menu or on the Home screen.<\/p>\n<p>But be aware: Photoshop still keeps track of recently-opened files, even if you don\u2019t see them listed. If you change \u201cRecent File List Contains\u201d to another number other than 0, you\u2019ll see recently opened files again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Learn Photoshop<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
