And if you're asking about deleting them from the MRU list at the bottom of
the File menu, press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen, then click on the unwanted file. (This
will also delete it from the Getting Started task pane.)

But be _careful_ using Ctrl-Alt-Hyphen. It will delete any menu item, not
just your defunct file names.
