set a different number of reports that will show in the service recent tab


  1. set a different number of reports that will show in the recent list (like 5 instead of 20)
    2.Currently the list has also the reports that were previously deleted from the workspace, but I can't seem to have an option to clear them from that list.Need the ability to delete unwanted items from the recent tab.

    Please, Power BI team, we *need* an option to clear or delete the recent reports from the list. Users are continually asking for access to reports that have been removed.

    Just resubmitted the same idea, but it also need to be across the whole PBI Service Portal. Recent APPs, Workspaces, and Recent List. Also this is a big issue when it comes to versioning and doing agile deployments based on customer/client needs...

    Yikes.. I hoped I was missing something. Is it really not possible to clear items in the recents section? Seems like a total bug that old non-existent items still show up.

    This is so fundamental and is not acceptable even on a free service let alone in a product with paid subscription.

    Unbelievable! Since Dec 2016 and there have no response yet? It is one of thing that they would be fixed. I don't understand why nobody answer the inquiry, and why there is not a solution yet!

    This is just stupid that you cannot clear old defunct reports/dashboards from the 'recent list'. This is a REAL WORLD issue. And a REAL WORLD 'yuk'

    Please fix. As a developer I know this is not a big fix. You just need to do it.

    Please allow us to clear recent content. This is very confusing to end users. Really bad user experience. this is a big deal to our organization and I have no way to resolve this on my own. Telling the users that it's a Microsoft problem doesn't make our IT dev group look very good.

    Can you please tell me how to delete Recent records in Power BI online? Too many old records appearing which is not required.

    This is also affecting us across clients, who shouldn't even be seeing other client's dashboards. I logged in as a client and was aghast that I saw almost every report and dashboard from our production user. Even I could only open the ones that were actually shared with this user, I was still seeing them. I need to be able to control this... either by not showing anything that's not been shared with them or being able to delete them.

    this is very annoying issue, got quite a few test reports and dashboard. Also some duplicate reports showing on the list.
    Don't think it is small thing since it is one of six items on the menu and makes user experience very bad.

    please oh please allows us to clear recents.... very sad when an end user clicks and sees 'we cannot find that report'
