Problem Statement

When using the folder picker in Claude Desktop (clicking "Select folder" → "Local"), a list of "Recent" folders is displayed. Currently, there is no way to clear or manage this list from within the UI.

Problem
The recent folders list accumulates over time and cannot be cleared
Old/irrelevant folder paths remain visible even after the folders are no longer used
The only workaround requires closing the app and manually deleting the LevelDB database at %APPDATA%\Claude\Local Storage\leveldb, which also logs the user out

Proposed Solution

Add one of the following:

A "Clear Recent" button in the folder picker dropdown
Right-click option to remove individual folders from the recent list
A setting in preferences to manage/clear recent folders

Environment
OS: Windows
Claude Desktop version: 1.1.381

Use Case Example

I initially opened 5 client folders when testing Claude Code. Now those 5 folders are permanently stuck in my "Recent" list, even though I've since opened 20+ different client folders. Every time I want to switch to a current client, I have to click "Choose a different folder" and navigate manually, because my recent list shows outdated folders from weeks ago instead of the folders I actually use daily.
