I would like to remove from Mac OS-X taskbar (Dock) the XCode's recent project menu items.
Everywhere I am searching it says the File->Open Recent->Clear Menu it will clear, but not.
It doesn't clear from Dock, it clears from inside the XCode Recent menu.
I believe I should dig somewhere is OS filesystem, but I don't know where.

It was an XCode 4.2 intalled, I did a complete uninstall and installed version 4.3.
But I couldn't clear the Dock's projects menu at version 4.3 either!

Here's what works for me:

  1. Launch Xcode
  2. Select File->Open Recent->Clear Menu
  3. Right-click the Xcode icon and select "Show All Windows". You should now see only your current document in the recents list at the bottom
  4. Quit Xcode.
    The recents list should now only be populated with your single current project.
