Basically do not know: I use Kubuntu 16.04 and I have ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel disabled because I hate it.
First thing to check is in Gimp: Edit -> Preferences -> Environment Bottom of that is a checkbox for Document History. Unchecked and recent files only lasts as long as the Gimp session.

In Mint check System Settings -> Privacy There are settings there for limiting the duration files are remembered. https://i.imgur.com/d7sTQh3.jpg
Other than that, if you use bleachbit. Even if started automatically AFAIK you will get the bleachbit dialogue to confirm clean-up. One of the settings is remove history.
