Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

I'm not sure if this is an existing feature or not,
Please add a delete function to the "Recent" list in Claude Code's project folder selection UI. Currently, you can only select items from the list, and there's no way to remove old or unnecessary items.

Proposed Solution

It would be nice to have a Delete (X) button for each item, or a delete option via the right-click context menu. Thank you.

For anyone who wants to clean the Recent picker today (inverse of this request) — Claude desktop builds the dropdown from per-session JSON files under ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude-code-sessions/ (and the .config / %APPDATA% equivalents on Linux/Windows). Each file has a cwd.

Small Python script that drops entries whose cwd no longer exists on disk, with a tarball backup first: https://github.com/bisovka-labs/claude-recents-cleaner

Single file, stdlib only, --dry-run, MIT. Doesn't touch chat history or .claude.json.
