Red Hat Main Menu


I am currently using Red Hat Linux 8 or 9 (I am not sure the version).
I have a question about the main menu which is the left bottom corner of
the screen "Red Hat" icon. The menu has the "Open Recent" icon and it shows
the file name list which I used before. I think it is the short cut file
list. I would like to remove / erase this file name list, so would you tell
me how to do it?

In Fedora core, there is a menu item in the same menu which allow you to clear the recent list, I think RH is the same.

---------------------------------
Thank you for the reply.
However, I am a layman about Linux Red Hat, a beginner. So, I do not know "Fedora core" or Linux
core very much. Where is the recent list in the Red Hat Linux?
Thanks!

P.S.
Yeah, I am an Asian (Japanese), but I am in the US, now. So, I do not see many Japanese but
Chinese or Korean.

Fedora core can be considered the test area for Red hat Enterprise linu.
Therefore though I haven't seen Redhat linux but I think the have the same user interface.
In Fedora core (Gnome destrop environments), when you point to the main menu, you can see
Places->Open Recent.
At the end of the Open recent is the clear recent list, which is used to clear that list.

That is all I know, I have nothing more to tell you. But I think you can ignore this list, it doesn't affect your work.
Why do you have to delete it?
And for your later post: if you want to make a quote, click the quote button, no need to retype my sentences

You should really think of getting Fedora Core instead of using Redhat 9 and below. Support and updates for them were discontinued a long time ago by Redhat. REdhat replaced the old Redhat Linux with Redhat Enterprise Linux (you need a subscription) and Fedora Core (free community driven project).

Thank you very much for your message, however, the Open Recent window does not have the
"clear recent list" in the Red Hat.
We are sharing this Linux computer, so other users might see my file list which I used before.
That's why I want to clear these list.
Thanks anyway!

Thank you for the message! I am not familiar with Linux and "Fedora Core"???
Would you tell me how to change the "core" without deleting my files?
By the way, I am one of the Linux user, so I cannot login the "root".

Well if you are not the sysadmin then there is nothing much you can do about it. Fedora core is much newer than Redhat 9. It is basically the replacement for the old REdhat Linux, so if you are used to Redhat then you can use Fedora Core just fine.

Thank you for the message, I contacted the system administrator about the installing "Fedora Core". Thanks anyway!

Linux is a multi user system.
You share a computer doesn't mean your partner can see your profile.
Unless you two share the account.
I think you and him must be using a seprate username and password?

Yes, each individual has their own user name and password, so we cannot see
other users files in Linux.
Thank you!
