If you are using one of the latest versions of Photoshop CC, you may notice that at the Home Screen, Photoshop shows a list of your recently opened personas, just like the screenshot below.

Well, when working on a personal computer, this seems like a fairly useful option to access the recent records easily.

However, if you are working on a public workstation, or you are sharing the Photoshop app with colleagues, you are able to not miss others to see the data you recently opened.

So for those who don’t want their privacy directly affected through this alternative in Photoshop, in this post, I’m going to show you how to clear the recently accessed personas on your Home Screen or to disable this option altogether.

Let’s take a look.

How to clear recent records in Photoshop

By default, the Photoshop Home Screen will show a total of 20 portraits that you’ve recently opened. If you’re concerned with your privacy, then the best option would be, of course, to clear them.

To clear all likeness on your Photoshop Home Screen, go to Files> Open Recent, and prefer Clear Recent File List.

This will clear the stories of recently retrieved portraits, and return the Home Screen back to a black screen, just like this 😛 TAGEND ps Home Screen cclearedps Home Screen ccleared

However, this is only going to work until “youre starting” opening more image documents, and the Home Screen is going to get inhabited with your recently opened epitomes all over again.

Therefore, this method is only useful if you are interested in clear your data autobiography for the time being, or to made to ensure that the next person who utilizes Photoshop does not know what image folders you were working on previously.

How to disable “Recent” in Photoshop

Step 1. Go to Photoshop Penchant Settings
