General Clear File Explorer History in Windows 11


Recent_items_banner.png

This tutorial will show you how to clear the Run (Win+R) and File Explorer (Win+E) typed, recent items, and frequent places history for your account in Windows 11.

Clearing your File Explorer history deletes the information Windows saved about the files and folders you use as well as what you've typed in the address bar and Run dialog.

File Explorer history consists of:
  • Recent items in the File Explorer jump list.
  • Quick access folders in File Explorer Home, except default pinned folders.
  • Favorites in File Explorer Home.
  • Recent files in File Explorer Home.
  • File Explorer address bar typed history.
  • Run dialog typed history.

Contents

  • Option One: Only Clear Run and File Explorer Address Bar History
  • Option Two: Clear File Explorer History in Folder Options
  • Option Three: Clear File Explorer History using BAT file

Shawn Brink

I just figured out that Run does not display any suggestions EXCEPT for drive letters it shows a long list of suggestions. Anything else I type in that's not a drive letter there no history or suggestions come up. In File Explorer there are only three suggestions for any letter I type in the address bar. I dont need to fix that because I never type in anything from scratch. I'm usually just pasting a path into it

I just figured out that Run does not display any suggestions EXCEPT for drive letters it shows a long list of suggestions. Anything else I type in that's not a drive letter there no history or suggestions and there. In File Explorer there are only three suggestions for any letter I type in the address bar. I dont need to fix that because I never type in anything from scratch. I'm usually just pasting a path into it

Let me ask this, can I delete a single path from Explorer's history? I have a particular folder that I don't want to leave easy access to.

Hello mate, :alien:

You should be able to use the registry paths in option 1 to manually delete specific paths.

TypedFile uses "url1", "url2", url3", etc with the path in the data and if url1 is deleted, it will not show url2 and url3 in explorer. Looks like there isn't a good answer to this one...

You could test renaming the string values to have them back in url1 etc.. order after deleting any.
