The recent project list in the Creator is persistent across multiple uninstalls and reinstalls of Qt on MacOS. uninstall with the maint tool does not alter this behavior. delete of known caches, preferences, plists does not alter this behavior. problem observed fron 6.4.2 up to and including 6.6 - they all interchange the recent project list with ease. What am I missing?

Hi and welcome to devnet,
How fast did you do that ? From memory, macOS keeps a not in file cache of app settings that could play a role here.

Did you always reinstall in the same fashion ?

there appears to be a number of places where qt creator stores persistent parameters. not all of these are cleared by the maintenance tool. are these places known to anyone? is a list available? -

From what I know,- There's an invisible folder named .config in the home folder.
- a folder named Qt in Application Support folder
- various Qt files in Preferences folder:
com.qtproject.QtCreator.plist
com.qtproject.Designer.plist
com.qtproject.plist
