Bring back "Clear Recent Documents" feature. Clearing file-by-file is

Please bring back Acrobat DC option to clear multiple/all recent files with one button.
Recent update to forces me to clear them file-by-file.
Taking away 'bulk' clearing option was a BIG step backward which costs me extra time at work.

    With our latest updates, you could use the Clear Recent button located at bottom right of the Recent file list and remove all of them. Alternatively, you can also Sign Out to clear all recent files.

    Priyanka,

    The "Remove from Recent" option doesn't exist anymore in that location or anywhere else. I am using Acrobat Pro DC with the latest update. Tried repairing the program as well, no difference. There are other complaints about it here as well. I think it could be a bug.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your report. Remove multiple files from Recent functionality is still available in Acrobat\Reader DC for local and cloud files. Just select all the files which you want to remove from the Recents and choose "Remove From Recent" option from the right side context pane.

    Hope this works for you. Please share your feedback.

    Regards,
    Priyanka
