Any thought to adding some cleaning for Notepad++, like it's recent files and the old find/replace phrases you type in?
they are sadly located in %AppData%\Roaming\Notepad++\config.xml so it'd remove settings if deleted.
But if you open config.xml in windows notepad you can change it so it doesn’t store recently opened and search phrases.
near the bottom of config.xml look for these.
nbMaxFindHistoryPath="0" nbMaxFindHistoryFilter="0" nbMaxFindHistoryFind="0" nbMaxFindHistoryReplace="0" History nbMaxFile="0"
that's a bad place to store them but thanks for letting me know how to get rid of that stuff anyway, I appreciate it.
