Clearing File History in Windows Media Player (WMP)

Ever wanted to clear the recent files history in Windows Media Player (WMP).

Open your Registry Editor (Run > type regedit) and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentFileList

For Deletion of Files History:
Delete the RecentFileList sub-key.
For Deletion of Streamed Content History:
Delete the RecentURLList sub-key.

In the end, exit the Registry Editor, and restart your computer.
That will clean your history for WMP. But if you don’t want to delete the complete history, then delete individual entries from the right pane. That will help you get rid of the files that you don’t want to see in the Recent File list.
