Actually, I like your heavy-handed solution, just fine. The "fire that purifies", so to speak.
While I was fumbling around, I edited the file with Bluefish, removing every (group of) line(s) that referenced a file that was showing up in the gimp "recently used" selection window. And was delighted to see that cleared the listings.
I always create a third set of folders for patterns, brushes, fonts, gradients, etc, and this most recent time setting up a new install, instead of manually entering the path to each in the "Preferences" section, I took the lazy route and clicked on the folder icon, and used a file manager type gui thing to establish the path. Which worked great, until I noticed this method caused each folder to take up permanent residence in the "Recently Used" window. So, I was anxious to make that go away....thanks to you.... that is now accomplished.
