How do I clear, or manage, the items that appear in the 'Recents' on the home page of OneDrive? The full file names of items in my VAULT are visible in this list. The point of the VAULT is to have all of that information protected. That includes the file name.

    Hi,

    OneDrive doesn't directly provide the option to make a clear list of recent. However, you can try to clear the cache and cookies.

    Or you can choose not to show the "Recent Files" list, under "File" option it can list all your files.

    I suggest you try to give a feedback to Microsoft about this behavior in OneDrive:

    Microsoft values your opinion. Your feedback goes directly to our engineers and helps us shape the future of Microsoft products and services for all our users.
