When I open Excel and choose "Open Other Workbooks" I see that I have managed a collection of "Recent Files" which is somewhat lengthy.

Simply right clicking a title allows me to "Remove from list".
That works well but that list does get horribly long at times.

Can some one please suggest a means to highlight files that I can batch remove according to my choice?
I've tried CTRL, ALT and SHIFT coupled with left mouse all of which open the file that I'd like to remove from my list.

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
File>Options>Advanced>DisplayOptions

And change the 'Show this number of Recent Workbooks' quantity
