Hi
If you open recent docs. It has at the bottom clear recent documents there
(go to Places-recent docs-(at the bootom) then clear.
hope that helps

There's an extension to change recent documents history size or clear it:
History Manager http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/histmngr

To install it:
1. Download the extension.
2. In OpenOffice choose Tools => Package Manager...
3. Press Add button and open the extension file (HistoryManager2.1.oxt).
4. Restart OpenOffice.
5. Open Tools => Add-Ons => History Manager.
6. Press the Clear button.

Recent documents history will be cleaned after OpenOffice restart.
