i have the lastest version v.5.70.7909 and i have recent documents unchecked as you can see in the image bellow.
and the problem is that my recent opened file list gets deleted
Which app is the recent file list being removed from?
Note that the unticked item you show is for Windows Explorer, (File Explorer), if the recent list is being removed from another app then it may be a different setting that you need to untick for Custom Clean.
i'm using custom clean and its on Widnows explorer
i click on file explorer folder in the start bar (yellow) then on the left of that windows select the frist option (i dont know in english but should be fast access[ the blue star icon])

Lets get things in agreement here. Are we all talking about this list?

Yes is that folders that two list frequent folders and recent files , as you can see you just have there desktop downloads and documents and you can see there the pin icon that ones it dont delete from there but all others are deleted and also all recent files.
Frequent files also gone unless are with the pin
They all gone when you close the icon or go to other place
i'm on win 10 v2004 but it also occurs on other build versions

That's the one that I'm meaning.
</p>
<p>
Frequent folders stays on for me but not Recent files.
</p>
<p>
As soon as I close File Explorer then Recent files has dissapeared altogether when I open it again.
</p>

I am on Win 10 2004.

Thing is that I have not run CCleaer at all, I've not even opened it.
</p>
<p>
So what I am seeing seems to be Windows itself.
