This trick has always worked for me:
- Temporarily rename the folder containing an MRU item.
- Attempt to open the MRU item from VS20xx.
- VS20xx will ask you if you want to remove the MRU item it can no longer find. Select Yes.

Sure, if you wan to do that once for EVERY item.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Works well. It does clear the lists, but it seems to be an All-Or-Nothing process. Still, it's a far cry better.

But you have new refreshed icons. That should count for something.
In the end, it sounds like you're going to have to uninstall/reinstall VS2017...

It might be that they integrated the MRU totally in with the win7 shell MRU stuff. It kinda looks like it based on the jumplist. If so, you couldn't clear it without also clearing those files out of your "Recent Documents" and other areas where doc history is kept.
I'm not sure they do it this way. I've never looked into it. But it's a possibility. Maybe try clearing your recent docs if windows will let you. see what happens.

What I don't get is WHY????
It's just a list of files.. It's not like it's encrypted data or CC numbers or something... it's just a list of files..

What you have to remember is that if what you think is important differs from what a marketing moron at ms thinks important, then you have got your priorities wrong, and need to just do as you're told.

Not quite clearing, but...
go to Tools->Options, select the Environment/General option. Set 'Items to show in recently used files list' to 1 (I said it wasn't quite clearing the list...) & press OK. Then if you want to get back to 10, change it again...

Pck is about to have a tool that lets you automatically set the release version you're using based on the available releases published at github.
The versions are super low below because these are temporary while I'm building and testing
pckver [/update [<major>.<minor>.<build>.<revision>]
Updates the Pck binaries from GitHub or displays the available versions.
Current version: Pck v0.0.0.1
Available versions:
Pck v0.0.0.2
Pck v0.0.0.1 (offline only)
It automatically retrieves everything and updates the apps. I think that's pretty neat.

Such a thing I did, sort of, before the company went VM for almost every user. This ran from an area I carved out on a local server.
My applications would be installed and updated by the same application - it was actually a launcher which, prior to launching the application, would check a script of instructions.
For simple updates, it would compare file dates - but it also allowed roll-back, adding and deleting files and folders, and even total removal of itself, all based upon a script. One of the items in the script that was updated was the script, itself, which allowed not only for updates being added for newly installed files (for example) but even recursive construction. Uploading a new script version would trigger rerunning the entire procedure (unless disabled).
In case you do build your updater, you may wish to incorporate any of the above you may not yet have considered adding (or shun them, as appropriate).
With the VM's it all went away as the keepers of the server and it's "Golden Image" became the method for updates. Very much less efficient.

That would be if i added more like an automated rollout feature - *push* updates versus *pull* updates I think.
These are development tools, so I'm not pushing updates, but I hear you. That sounds neat.

I'm motivated by the positive side of lazy.
This gave me control of the code and made changes easy - no copies or instructions or anything. If you used the application is updated. If you didn't use it then it didn't matter. Interestingly, due to some built-in defaults, you could miss a series of updates and still catch up in one step plus, at most, one new script and a rerun.
The point is that being motivated by lazy should not be underrated!

i never underestimate lazy. Lazy is the pinnacle of this craft. A lazy developer does not do the same thing twice.

A lazy programmer would just copy/paste.
A lazy programmer names his variables x, y and z because (s)he can't be bothered.
A lazy programmer doesn't think about the structure of his code.
A lazy programmer does the same thing over and over because learning something new is too much of a hassle.
Really, calling lazy the pinnacle of our craft does us ALL a disservice!
It's "myths" like this that attract bad programmers to our field and managers that hire them.
Unless you think all your hard work of figuring out LLR and LALR parsers and then putting that into code was just some lazy Sunday afternoon pastime comparable to watching Netflix in bed

Clearly, that's the wrong kind of lazy, as that isn't lazy at all, but more work in the end to create a big ball of mud like that.
Of course, I use "editor inheritance" (copy and paste) more than I'd admit in polite company, especially in my UI apps. My event handlers are often copy/paste/modify of other event handlers.
UIs are glue anyway, if the API is tight.

I almost always stick to copying and pasting my own code.
