I do that all the time.
It goes in my bin, which permanently deletes it after 30 days.
I keep pretty much all work mail and most personal mail, but newsletters, order confirmations, build status updates, etc. go right into the bin folder (after having read them).
Or mail like "here's my contact details". I create a Contact, save the details there and delete the mail.
Sometimes even mails with attachments that I should read. I download the attachment, put it where it belongs (like source control or ticketing system) and delete the mail.
That said, I still nearly have around 3000 mails saved since 2010.
Everything before that time somehow got lost when I took a new email address and apparently(?) purged my old account.
I have no idea what happened, but it was quite a shock when I found out at the time.
However, I can't say I ever missed any of those deleted mails, I think we keep them mostly for a little piece of mind and "just in case".

You and me both. Shift-Del is now so deeply ingrained in my way of doing things, the thought of just using Del by itself never even crosses my mind.
In the past 20+ years, there's maybe one time I wished I could've just gone to the recycle bin and retrieved something back out of it. Instead, I went to my backup set.

Some of us are AR (anally retentive) about cleaning up our work space. Besides the automatic 30 day cleanup I will happily empty the trash and junk folders whenever I like, often when the hind brain is working on a problem.

Nothing to worry about, because they ain't gone, yet.

I saw the video. Not a real solution, especially when your MRu list has a LOT of items in it.
The Git posting didn't have any answers that I could see

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_2caad97f\ApplicationPrivateSettings.xml (take a backup) (the path should be similar to this 15.something)
use an visual xml editor traverse to -- CodeContainers.Offline and clear the values in the value (they are the mru) -- open vs and they are gone the mru
-<collection name="CodeContainers.Offline"><value name="value">
/content/indexed/collection[14]/@name
/content/indexed/collection[14]/value[1]

This trick has always worked for me:
- Temporarily rename the folder containing an MRU item.
- Attempt to open the MRU item from VS20xx.
- VS20xx will ask you if you want to remove the MRU item it can no longer find. Select Yes.

Sure, if you wan to do that once for EVERY item.

Works well. It does clear the lists, but it seems to be an All-Or-Nothing process. Still, it's a far cry better.

But you have new refreshed icons. That should count for something.
In the end, it sounds like you're going to have to uninstall/reinstall VS2017...

It might be that they integrated the MRU totally in with the win7 shell MRU stuff. It kinda looks like it based on the jumplist. If so, you couldn't clear it without also clearing those files out of your "Recent Documents" and other areas where doc history is kept.
I'm not sure they do it this way. I've never looked into it. But it's a possibility. Maybe try clearing your recent docs if windows will let you. see what happens.

It's just a list of files.. It's not like it's encrypted data or CC numbers or something... it's just a list of files..

What you have to remember is that if what you think is important differs from what a marketing moron at ms thinks important, then you have got your priorities wrong, and need to just do as you're told.

Not quite clearing, but...
go to Tools->Options, select the Environment/General option. Set 'Items to show in recently used files list' to 1 (I said it wasn't quite clearing the list...) & press OK. Then if you want to get back to 10, change it again...

Pck is about to have a tool that lets you automatically set the release version you're using based on the available releases published at github.
The versions are super low below because these are temporary while I'm building and testing
pckver [/update [<major>.<minor>.<build>.<revision>]
Updates the Pck binaries from GitHub or displays the available versions.
Current version: Pck v0.0.0.1
Available versions:
Pck v0.0.0.2
Pck v0.0.0.1 (offline only)
It automatically retrieves everything and updates the apps. I think that's pretty neat.
