When you open a document using the recover text from any file option
the files of type drop down list the document contains alot of extra
information at the bottom. It looks like some of the imformation is
avout the styles used in the document and some user information. Some
of the documents contain file paths too.

Where is this information stored and is there any way to remove it?

Thank you

For some description of the Recover Text option and what it's for, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/RecoverText.htm.

If you're concerned about the user information when you send a document to
someone else, see the appropriate articles for your version of Word:
