Remove item(s) from dropdown

More cosmetic than required but I'd like to know how to remove item(s) from the dropdown of previously used file locations.
I've tried highlighting the entry in question and hitting delete. I've also tried selecting the entry then pressing backspace (then enter).
The entry is still there.
I'd even be willing to clear the entire list of entries and recreating it if necessary but I'd don't know how to do that either.

If you hover over a previous location and hit delete, it will remove it. Your cursor has to be hovering over the entry though :/

Thanks. This works (of course) and is probably the only thing I hadn't tried. Before your replay, I actually found the GlobalSettings.xml file and edited it myself with Notepad.
Now I'd like to figure out how to control the order that things show in the two dropdowns - again solely a cosmetic issue. I'd like the things in the right and left lists to match (in pairs, so to speak).

Definitely a big quality-of-life feature, but I hope to see it improved! A global 'previous' locations would be cool. I don't really use these that often, but that makes me wish it was more intuitive even more

The hover and delete doesn't work on mine, Vn 11.18 (Donation) running on Linux Mint. Would be nice if it did. I'll look into editing the config file.

Other than that, the program is great. Works exactly as expected. :-)

EDIT: Editing the config file worked.
