Desktop app: No way to remove entries from the "Recent" folders list

Environment

• Claude for Windows 1.15962.1 (1e236d)
• OS: Windows 11 Pro 22631

Summary

The project picker chip in the task composer shows a "Recent" folders list, but there is no UI to remove individual entries from it. Old or abandoned project folders accumulate with no way to clean them up.

Repro

1. Open a folder via the project chip (e.g. via_unet).
2. Click the chip again -> see via_unet listed under "Recent".
3. Try to remove it:

• Left-click the entry -> only switches to the folder.
• Right-click the entry -> only the default Electron context menu (Copy / Select All); no Remove / Forget option.
• File menu has no related entry.
• Settings (General / Account / Usage / Capabilities / Connectors / Claude Code / Cowork / Desktop app -> General/Extensions/Developer) has no project list management.

1. Conclusion: there is no in-app way to remove a Recent entry.

Expected

Either a "Remove from Recent" action in the right-click menu of each entry, or a section in Settings to manage the Recent folders list.

Workarounds attempted

• Editing %APPDATA%\Claude\config.json - no recent-projects key present.
• Searching all non-session files under %APPDATA%\Claude\ for the folder name - no plain-text match.
• The list appears to be stored in IndexedDB (%APPDATA%\Claude\IndexedDB\https_claude.ai_0.indexeddb.leveldb\), which is binary and locked while the app is running. Deleting it would wipe other local state, so it isn't a real workaround.
