In new Android Studio 2018 this feature is made even better
File -> Open recent
and at the de-e-ep bottom of the showed up projects list, please activate: ->Manage projects

Now you are able to delete any of them on your choice by clicking on crosses of the items.

On Windows:

Android Studio 2.3.3

File -> Close Project close all the project which is opened now. By close project you will directed to Welcome to Android Studio page with list of projects in the recent list.

Just mouse over the project you want to delete and click the close button to remove the project from recent list.enter image description here

Easiest way, at least with 2.0 and further versions: select the first item and afterwards select the last one on the list, so all of them will slightly change colour, and then right-click mouse and select delete all from the menu.

Note, this solution is for a newer version of Android Studio than the poster requested. I'm adding this solution, since this is the first link that comes up on Google.

I'm running Android Studio 1.5 on Windows 7, and none of the above solutions worked. The only way I was able to remove projects from the recent list was by modifying the recentProjects.xml file. I found it at C:\Users\{user name}\.AndroidStudio1.5\config\options\recentProjects.xml

I just deleted all the option tags of the projects I didn't want. The structure looks like:

<application>
  <component name="RecentProjectsManager">
    <option name="recentPaths">
      <list>
        <option value="XXX>

On Mac OS X :

  1. On "Welcome to Android Studio" Screen

  2. On the Right Side List "Recent Projects" just hover over the Project you want to clear (do not click)

  3. Now press Delete, thats it!

All at once? No, but you can hover your mouse over the project name e hit Delete on your keyboard.

UPDATE

I don't know if it existed or was added in the lastests version, but open any project and go to File > Reopen and select Clear List. Click OK on the confirmation dialog and next time you open AS the Recent Projects list should be blank.
