Does anyone know how to clear the Recent Projects list on the start page of VS2015? Apparently VS2015 doesn't have an MRU file in the registry and I can't find any tutorials on how to clear the list for the 2015 version. Thanks!

Press Ctrl + Shift + P. Then, within the Quick Open bar, type in >Clear Recently Opened. The How To Delete Recent Project On Visual Studio Code issue was overcome by employing a variety of different examples.
An easier solution and safer then using the registry to remove individual projects is to rename the . sln file. In VS 2008, click on the project. You will be prompted that it can no longer be found and do you want to remove it from the list.
Visual Studio 17.2 Preview 3 introduces a brand-new All-In-One search experience that merges the existing VS Search (Ctrl + Q) and Go To (Ctrl + T) to allow you to search both your code and Visual Studio features quicker and easier than ever, all in the same place.
The MRU list just moved for VS 2015. It's still stored in the registry, it's just in a different place.
Open regedit and delete the items in:
Recent ProjectsHKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\MRUItems\{a9c4a31f-f9cb-47a9-abc0-49ce82d0b3ac}\Items
Recent FilesHKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\MRUItems\{01235aad-8f1b-429f-9d02-61a0101ea275}\Items
Restart Visual Studio and that should do it.
