Thanks Tony. I¡¯ve tried that.? In File Explorer¡..Under ¡°recent files¡±? for example: NAME: LOW PASS FILTER (with KiCad logo)? TYPE: KiCad Project? ??Size: 0KB? If I right click on a file, a number of options come up with no option to delete.
I think in the KiCad program there is a file that holds all the .pro files and that is what I need to find.
Just because you see something listed in "Recent files", doesn't mean it actually exists. That's just a separate list of shortcuts. The existence of a shortcut doesn't necessarily mean the target file still exists. Windows sometimes loses track of files and even folders, depending on what you did with them.
With "Recent files" listed, right-click on one of the KiCad .pro files in the list and select the option "Open file location". When that folder opens, is the file there? If it is, it is there that you can delete it, not in the "Recent files" list. The .pro is just a project profile file, it doesn't contain the actual design data, that's in the other files in the same folder. If you want to delete the entire project, you should delete the folder the files are in.
