How can I clear the list of recent connections from Perforce P4V?

Perforce P4V keeps a list of recent connections under the menu 'Connections -> Recent Connections'. We have moved our Perforce depot files to a different server so I still have the old connection listed but when it is selected it errors as it can't connect. Is there a way to clear these old connections?

I am using Perforce Visual Client/NTX86/2010.1/271261.

Are you in Linux/Unix? If so, in your home directory is a .p4qt/ directory. If Windows, I'm sure you have something similar.

You should have a file called appsettings.xml or ApplicationSettings.xml. It should have something like this:

 </PropertyList>
 <StringList varName="Recent Connections">
 <String>server:1666, bob, bob_workspace</String>
 <String>server:1666, steve, steve_ws</String>
 <String>server:1666, joe, joe_workspace</String>
 </StringList>

Please note, I do not know XML, but you should be able to clear this out of your file. Or, you can delete this file and have it be recreated if you don't mind some preferences being reset.
