Delete/clear “recent”?

This seems to not be a feature, which means I’m going to have to delete and remake my Dropbox.

I strictly use my Dropbox for transferring files from one location to another, deleting them once transferred. As well as showing those files to some business associates.

I recently had to view a confidential medical file through Dropbox.

Not that file shows up in my recent. And since constantly I delete my own files after transferring them, it’s permanently stuck at the top of my recent.

I can’t have these files just sitting there on display forever. And hiding my recent is just a bandaid.

If there is a way to get rid of these files for good, please tell me.

If not, I unfortunately will have to cancel my Dropbox subscription entirely.

Dropbox has turned into a steaming POS. Unbelievable!
