This file records your most recently used local files. It is used to
populate the "Recent Files" lists in many applications.
If this still bothers you, you can disable it, but this seems to require
per-toolkit settings. For example, for GTK3, edit
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and add this line to the [Settings] section:
gtk-recent-files-enable = 0
See:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/74031/disable-recently-used-in-gtk-file-directory-selector
Delete ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel then log out and back in. You
might need similar settings for other toolkits such as GTK2 or Qt; the
reappearance of ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel will alert you to this.
Kind regards,
