The list of "Recently used servers" from the "Recent" tab in the "Connection to 4D Server" window uses a 4D Link file to store recent servers (Here is a tech tip on the .4DLink file type. ):

These can be cleared by deleting the .4DLink files located in the "Remote" folder:

For Mac OSX:

Users:UserName:Library:Preferences:4D:Favorities v11:Remote

For Windows XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\4D\Favorities v11\Remote

For Window Vista:

C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\4D\Favorits v11\Remote

You can also remove the recent items from the list of "Recently used Servers" list, yet keep them on your machine as a sort of "Archive" by renaming the folders listed above. Alternatively you can move the .4DLink files into a different folder should you ever want to restore them.

If you want to delete a Server name from the list of Recently used servers, you can also highlight it and press the delete key on your keyboard.
