[SOLVED] How can I clear history in Thunar's Create Document section?

Whenever I want to create a text file or any other document in Thunar, I get a list with the previous documents I used. The problem is it's so long (it takes up the entire screen and I still need to scroll) that I can't see the only option I need there, which is "Empty File", I'd like to make it so the history of previously used documents isn't saved or at least limit it to 3 or 4 last documents

Hi and welcome to our lovely forum!

Could you list your Templates directory?

ls -l ~/Templates

@KBar Ohhh, I didn't pay attention to what files come up there. Yep, that's my entire Templates folder, I guess I need to find a better place to throw all the temporary stuff to haha. The issue is solved, thanks!

No problem. You just have to make sure to leave some template files in the directory, e.g. Plain Text.txt and such.
