Clear list of recent repositories in Git Extensions

How to clean orphaned or incorrect repositories from the Git Extensions recent list by editing or deleting the history value in the Windows registry.

Orphaned and wrong specified repositories in the recent list are annoying. Straightaway I does not found an option to clean this entries. And also not the persistence place for that.

So it was time for Process Explorer.

The storage happens under:

HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\GitExtensions\GitExtensions\1.0.0.0

in the string value history

You could edit the content of the string value or delete it – than during restarting Git Extensions the string value will be created with a default skeleton.
