I’m unable to clear 1,000+ document files from Finder/Favorites/Recents 
in the Sidebar on my fully updated M3 iMac

I’ve tried Apple Icon/Recent Items/Clear Menu with no joy. Recent 
folders and apps clear but not the document files.

I’ve tried Finder/Go/Recents, or just clicking Recents from the sidebar, 
but don’t see any way to Clear the document files.

I can select the documents in the Recent folder and hit Move to Trash, 
or drag them there, and while that clears them from the Recents folder, 
it also deletes them from their original location-- and I don't want to 
do that.

So....how to clear (not delete) documents from the Recents Folder?
