How do I clear the "Recent" list on the Start page?

Hi all
I know there's a simple answer to this one, I just can't find it in either the Flare help or on the forums (because the words "start", "page" and "recent" are just a bit too common!)
How do I clear the list of recent projects on the Start page?
Many thanks
CM

In the File menu, there should be a button labeled "Manage Recent Projects" toward the bottom/right corner. Click it to open the "Recent Projects" window, then click "Remove All."
This should apply to 2019r2 and 2020; I haven't used any other versions though.

That's perfect, and exactly what I was after!
(Would be even happier if I could also remember how to NOT have the Start page appear every time I open Flare, because the first thing I do EVERY TIME is close it. I'm sure I didn't always have to have it appear every time I open Flare...)

Same here. None of the solutions I've seen suggested work. For example, opening the .flprj file directly or setting a specific project as a "startup" file (this option doesn't even seem to exist anymore).
I'd even settle for the Start Page auto-closing after creating/opening a project.

Regarding, switching off the auto-launch of the Start page, I think I've cracked it.
After a re-install, this has been driving me insane, as every time I open any project, the Start page launches for no useful reason.
Go to the Options dialog.
Choose the General tab.
About half way down, there is an option/button called Reset "Show Once" Dialogs...
Oddly this option isn't documented in the Flare help.
Since hitting this option, the Start page no longer launches, when I open any Flare project. Hurrah!
Would be helpful if it had some doc or a more user-friendly name or even some doc, but it seems to do the job.

It seems oddly reversed that a reset for of the things that are supposed to appear one time made that go away
But I'll take it
