How to reset Recent File Filters only in Xcode 4?

Question

The project navigator has this excellent filter at the bottom (clock icon). When you click on it, it displays only those files that have been recently edited.

Problem. There seems to be no way to reset this. My project has about 200 source files, and I use them a lot every day. Thus, this list is becoming more and more and therefore less useful over time.

Often I just did something, and then I just want to get rid of these files in the recents filter.

Is there a secret way to reset a filter? Xcode4 should store this information somewhere.

Answer 1

Go to the .xcproject or .xcworkspace package using a terminal or an open package in Finder. Empty the contents of the <username>.xcuserdata .

Answer 2

I had this problem today and obviously Apple fixed the error. Just click the clock icon to switch.

Answer 3

For me, restarting Xcode (I use 7.2) reduces the number of files displayed when the "recent files" filter is enabled. But I do not know how the files that still remain are defined.
