I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I have a question: How do I clear recently used files history on Porteus?

What type of files, browser files or files on your system? How are you saving changes?

All kind of files actually. I was wondering if it is possible to clear recently used file list on Porteus.

Hopefully this shouldn't be too confusing.

ok, i guess you're talking about the "Open File" type dialog that appears in various apps..
the contents of the "recently used" part is stored in /home/guest/.local/share/recently-used.xbel .
you can just delete it( it'll be regenerated next time you open something) or edit it, removing individual <bookmark></bookmark> entries..
