Is there a way to delete recently viewed files?

From all my research there is no way to delete/remove something from recently viewed files, how is this not a feature?

    Hi earthcone, thanks for posting today.

     

    We appreciate the feedback on this matter. We take all comments into consideration when improving the Dropbox site and services.

     

    While there isn't a built-in feature to delete the recent files, as there is a limit of 20 files, you could open 20 random files on your account via the site, which would 'clear out' the recent file list to show these new files.


    If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me back!

      That’s great and all, but I feel like a simpler fix would just be a remove option.
