How can the recent file list be purged/ set to expire after a specified period of time?

Avez-vous trouvé une solution à ce problème ?  
J’ai cherché dans mysql en utilisant tour à tour les termes “nav-recent” , “recent” … ou le nom du dernier fichier intentionnellement créé à cet effet … En vain.

J’ai fait de même un find à la recherche des mots clefs ou nom de fichier récent avec un grep sur le contenu des fichiers. Rien.

J’ai utilisé l’«inspecteur» de chrome sans succès. Trop compliqué à suivre.

Quelqu’un a-t-il une piste ?

Bien cordialement

No leads. Might be able to go into the database and delete the data (am sure there is a table for recent files somewhere) but that is too much effort to be worth the result.

I did not find the list of recent files in the database
