How can I clear the contents of the 'application
data\microsoft\office\recent' folder in a users profile
when they log off. We have problems with roaming profiles
exceeding the set limit and this folder seems to be a
culprit. I have looked in Group Policy, but nothing
actually says it clears the folder.

Thanks.

You could write a logoff script:

@echo off
setlocal
set recent="%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\office\recent\*.*"
if exist %recent% del /q %recent%
endlocal
exit /b 0
