Are these files listed in the File menu of Gnucash?  - ie recently used files?

To get a completely clean install, you need to delete some user preferences 
which get stored by default in ~/.gnucash and ~/.gconf folders (IIRC.)

There is no other way that I know of to remove them from the list, (other than 
starting new files, so they get replaced!)

HTH,
