Answer 2

The easiest solution you could ever found would be the Clear Recent VS Extension.

This extension saved me a lot of time when I moved all the projects from my HDD (D: partition) to my SSD (P: partition). I had to remove ~hundred of projects from Start Page Recent projects section and I did it in "one click".

Just press Ctrl+Shift+Q and then type Clear All.

Answer 3

To remove a single project from Recent Projects list you can right click on the project and select remove. (The screenshot is in Italian, but it's clear.)

Answer 4

The MRU list just moved for VS 2015. It's still stored in the registry, it's just in a different place.

Open regedit and delete the items in:

Recent Projects
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\MRUItems\{a9c4a31f-f9cb-47a9-abc0-49ce82d0b3ac}\Items

Recent Files
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\MRUItems\{01235aad-8f1b-429f-9d02-61a0101ea275}\Items

Restart Visual Studio and that should do it.
