How to remove Apple Menu > Recent Items completely? — Servers entry stuck Hi there, does anyone know a way to remove the entry “Recent Items” from the Apple menu completely? Since macOS Ventura, setting the option “Last Documents, Apps, Servers” to zero in System Settings does not remove the entry “Servers” from the “Recent Items” submenu. Nothing will be recorded there, but the main menu entry does not go away.
