Hello,
Do you know how to delete the recently viewed files in Adobe Reader version XI?
Because I can do it in the DC version but not in version XI
Thank you in advance,

    Hello Julie,

    in versions prior to DC:
    - press [Ctrl] [K] to open the "Preferences" dialog box
    - click on the "Documents" category, and lower the "Documents in the most recent list" field counter to 0.

    One caveat: I don't remember in version XI of the Reader if you can go down to 0 or at least to 1. There was a change on this point between two versions. You'll let us know...

      Thank you Claire,
      It worked wonderfully by setting it to 0 and everything disappeared, however in File Explorer, the Recent locations still show the links to the opened folders and I can't delete them.
      Thank you for your help :)

        Julie,

        Your question now concerns Windows and no longer Acrobat.

        I do not know which version of Windows you have, but try this for a version prior to Windows 10:
        - right-click on the "Start" button of Windows (at the bottom left of your screen) | "Properties"
        - in the [Start Menu] tab, disable "Store and display a list of recently opened files."

        For Windows 10:
        - click on the "Start" button of Windows (at the bottom left of your screen) | "Settings"
        - "Personalization" icon | "Start" (on the left)
        - disable "Show recently opened items..."

        If these actions do not meet your request, come back and let us know your version or ask your question on a Windows forum.

        For a deeper cleaning of traces of consulted files, you can download the CCleaner utility (free) which will do a better job of cleaning.
