If you want to delete *all* of them, go to Tools | Options | General and
clear the check box for "Recently used file list." If you want to delete a
specific one, press Alt+Ctrl+Hyphen and then click on the specific filename.
Use this shortcut very carefully, as it will remove *any* menu entry you
click on.

How do I delete the file names in the drop down menu that appear when I

click
on "File". There are usually about four of your most recent documents.
