this technique of deleting history is outdated for outdated players. so if u have vlc new version. or if u wanted that ur player doesnt show files when u right click vlc in taskbar. or in start menu.
ReplyDeletefirst go to your task bar.
right click- properties.
start menu- privacy
uncheck 1. store and display recently opened programs in the start menu.
2. store and display recnetly opened items in the start munu and the task bar.
hit apply- ok.
after sometime u ll nt see the start menu showing ur recently opened programs.
so once again go en check both the options.
now its reset to zero.
after that disable the storage of recent files in vlc.
open vlc player.
tools- preferences
at last u ll find the option (save recently played files.) uncheck that.
hit ok.
en enjoy playing ur super hidden stuffs. :P all to urslf.
adios.
If we are talking about android and especially nexus 7. Go to >settings>apps>vlc>clear data
