clearing recently changed folder

Does any one know how to do this in vista home?

Recently Changed is not a folder, or directory, but rather a saved search
file (Recently Changed.search-ms). If you delete the items within it, you
will delete the actual items it has listed. It just list files that meet a
certain criteria, in this case, according to the Date Modified of the file's
properties.

Hey there,

I also have a file which i cannot delete permanently. I accepted the file by
mistake in a transfer in an instant messaging chat. I deleted file from
"recently changed" and deleted the same file from "recycle bin". Although I
cannot open the file in "recently changed" as it states it has been deleted.
The file still remains in the list and the icon shows the picture content
which is visible.

How can I delete the file permantently from "recently changed" so it is no
longer shown in the list and no longer on my laptop. Dell advised me to
restore my laptop back to factory settings, but surely there is a much
simpler and quicker way rather than restoring.

Please help......thanks

Yaz

permanently deleted from "recently changed" so it is not listed". Thanks
