Touble in Excel

I transfered files from Scottrade to Excel to forward to someone ... I
removed the files from My Documents to the Recycle Bin, but the file names
remain in Excel "Recent Documents" ... how do I remove them? ... there is
nothing left in the files.
 
which version of excel. in 2003, turn off the recent file list by
unchecking the option under tools/options/general tab
 
EXCEL 2007

Take the following actions:-

Office Button (top left hand corner)

Excel Options (Lower right hand corner)

Advanced (left hand side)

Display (right hand side) / Show this number of Recent Documents - set this
to 0

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.
