When I open up rapid weaver 6.3.5 it say I do not have any recent files. I just worked on this a couple of days ago.

Brad  
Thanks for the info, but it’s not that I want to remove my projects, It tell me I have no projects and I can not find the website I built, so that I can make changes to it. This is the first time I’ve had this issue and I’ve been using RW since RW-2. Do you know where it stores the files?

@CaptnKidd, the list is that the recent projects is based off of the OS recent files list, if cleared, the project files are removed from RapidWeaver recent projects list.

In the future if you lose your project files again, search for .rwsw files (RW5.x Projects) or .rw6 (RW6.x Projects)

Glad you found the Project file 😄

Happy Weaving…
