While I am happy to answer emails, please ask your questions on the
gnucash-user mailing list.  I don't understand why you feel it is "sooo
hard" -- when you ask there you get the benefit of hundreds of people to
potentially answer your question.  Also, when you keep it on the list, you
can benefit others who may have the same problem you have.

Moreover, keeping it on the list will be more likely to get you an answer
from someone who actually knows how to solve the problem.  When you send
an email off-list, the recipient may not have any idea how to answer you,
or may not even be around to answer in a timely fashion.

So please keep questions (and responses) on the list.

The best way to remove a file from your recents list is to actually remove
the file from your folder.  Drag it to trash, or otherwise dispose of it. 
If you do that, GnuCash will ask if you want to remove it from the Recent
History.

Or you can just ignore them.   Gnucash will automatically open the most
recently used file.  So if you have "test 1", "test 2", "test 3" and "my
data file", if you File -> Open "my data file" and then exit GnuCash, the
next time you open GnuCash it will open "my data file".

Hope this helps,
