The title says it all; I often open old projects I don't need and I would like to get rid of them off my "Recent projects" list.

Is it plausible?

Cheers.

The list is made from the workspaces and projects that are saved/saved as.

I find it easiest to open the projects I want to keep and then do a delete history.
Then, I save as the open projects.

I would like an option to delete all project from the list while keeping the workspaces in the list.
Your requested option to edit the list would also be good.

Edit: Is there a max number of entries on the history list? If not, maybe adding a max would be good.

Open the Start Here page and press the little icon next to the project/file name.

The max number is 16 or 20...

The easiest way to delete some projects from history is to click on the little trash-bin on the starthere-page next to the appropriate project (or file).
unfortunately yoiu can only delete one project (or file) at a time with this method.

Thank you, it is likely 16 for the max since I have one at 16 right now.

Edit:
From recentitemslist.cpp
Code
m_list = new wxFileHistory(16, m_firstMenuItemID);
