Does anyone know how to remove a single item from the Recent Items Menu?

[candy101]

I have been trying to find a solution on how to remove a single item from the Recent Items menu and not have to clear the whole thing. Before upgrading to El Capitan everything worked just fine. I had downloaded Pref Setter software by Night Productions and used that to edit the /YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist. After the update, I no longer can find this file in the Preferences folder which is probably why Pref Setter no longer works.

I would really appreciate it if someone can help me figure this out. I have looked extensively online but have not come across a solution that works.

Thanks!

Everyone wants to know what norty things you've been doing... Sys logs, recent items.....

Open each item that appears on the list after the item you do not want. Now see how far down the list it has moved, then open enough items not already on the list above it to get it to drop off. If you're trying to hide something from someone else, make sure you do this with the maximum number of Recent Items displayed.
