Photoshop: Ability to remove certain files from the "recents" pane so we can have a better focused look on certain projects?
That's that, a simple remove, even with a right click would do.

However, the function that seems to be wanted is already available in ADOBE BRIDGE using the "Collections" and "Smart Collections" function.
In Adobe Bridge, one is not limited to listing only recent Photoshop files. A custom Collection can hold visual links to Illustrator files, Photoshop files, InDesign files or any file that Bridge is capable of interfacing with. It is a great tool for organizing the files of complex, multi-faceted projects. If you use key words with files or have other ways that files can be grouped, the Smart Collections function can be used. It is basically a way to save a specified search query as a dynamic folder. As files are created that match the search criteria, they appear in the Smart Collection folder automatically. With regular Collections, the files are added manually. A great feature is that the files stay in their original locations and appear in the Collection as a thumbnail that is linked to the original file.

In theory, Smart Collections are great. But they can also be dreadfully slow.
Regular Collections (which I use more often) have another problem. If you rewrite the contents too much (however often the Collection decides that is), you can close with 72 files in the collection one night, then open again in the morning with 64 files. And if you move files that the Collection knows should be there (according to its manifest), it gets a trifle grumpy.
So I'm not sure if Collections would suit me or not inside the Recent Files List. It might be a bit of overkill just to be able to do away with 14 or 15 files that are crowding out the 7 or 8 I want. A right click on "go away" would probably be all I really needed out of it. Maybe a right-click on "keep me" would also work. Maybe both. <BG>

I'm surprised that this is still not implemented, based on how often it seems to pop up.
This very small feature would be huge for both privacy and reducing clutter.
I stream or screen share Photoshop on a regular basis, and there are certain projects (such as secret updates I want to keep from my community) or personal photos (family portraits) that I simply don't want to accidentally reveal.
This leaves me with a couple of options, manually change the file location so that Photoshop deletes it from the Recents list, or hide my screen while opening files, and hope that photoshop doesn't crash to the starting screen.
Both of which are more of a pane than they should be. 😜

We all seem to be whistling in the wind, but thanks for your comment, which is right on.
