How to Remove Recent Files in KMPlayer: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Launch KMPlayer on your computer.
  2. Click on the "File" menu, usually located at the top-left corner of the player.
  3. Select "Recent Files" from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click on "Clear Recent Files" or "Clear List" (depending on the KMPlayer version).
  • Confirm the action if prompted.

    • 📌 Always backup registry before editing (File → Export).

    Clearing the list is only a temporary fix. If you want KMPlayer to never remember what you watched, you need to disable the history feature entirely.

    Part 1: The "Sniper Approach" (Removing Specific Files)

    1. Quit KMPlayer.
    2. In Finder, press Shift+Cmd+G and go to:
      • Back up any files before deleting.
      • Some versions store history per user account; repeat for other accounts if needed.
      • If KMPlayer re-populates the list, test after disabling any cloud sync or portable settings that restore configs.
      • If you want KMPlayer to stop recording history, look for a setting like “Save play history” or “Remember recently opened files” and disable it.
