Where does Atom store its recently opened files list?

I'm using Atom 1.0.15. On startup, Atom tries to open a file on a MTP device every time, which is very annoying. Even after closing the tab referring to the file on the MTP device, Atom will try to reopen it on next startup.

A fix would probably be to clear the recently opened files list, but I can't find it. Where is it located?

According to this site: 1, it saved it in indexedDB. So if you want to clear it:

  1. Press ctrl-shift-i
  2. Find the Application tab where you may see the IndexedDB databases.
  3. You may delete the Atom* ones.

A quick and inelegant way is to just clean your ~/.atom/storage directory (%HOMEPATH%\.atom\storage).

This should 'reset' Atom to a project-less state.
