Delete file in "most recent used" section
I have two files that I have moved on my computer. Now whenever I load excel
it tells me that a file is missing, and the "open a workbook" section contains two files which no longer exist. How can I delete these from "open workbook". When I click on them, obviously Excel can't locate them. Thanks |

Click on Tools....Options....clear the recently used file list....click on
Okay. The history should be cleared. Repeat steps to have that feature return. "Scott" wrote: I have two files that I have moved on my computer.

Several reasons why Excel should tell you a file is missing when you open Excel. 1. You open Excel from a shortcut that points to a deleted file. 2. You have an Add-in checked in ToolsAdd-ins and Excel can't find the add-in. 3. You open a file that has links to a deleted file. None of these will be solved by deleting files from the MRU list. Unless of course you are trying to open a deleted file that is on the MRU list. To delete all files from the MRU list, go to ToolsOptionsGeneral and set the MRU list to zero. Close Excel then re-open and the list will be blank. Reset to whatever number you want up to 9.
