Hello! Hopefully a very easy question… I can not figure out how to delete old files/projests from my RW8. I was trying to delete two of these below projects but can’t seem to find how…?? ![49%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/e/be3e4874f7e90db0be09b0e0282f2ff4024dd4e7.jpeg) ---

With that window open, click on the “File” menu (top left), then hover over “Open Recent”, then click “Clear Menu”. The next time you open RW, they will have gone. However, this doesn’t actually delete the projects, it just removes them from the Recent view. ---
