Fixing Stuck Explorer Items
During my testing, I figured out that Windows Explorer always seems to use the same exact filename to store the pinned/recent items: 1B4DD67F29CB1962.AUTOMATICDESTINATIONS-MS
So you can try this command, which will wipe out all the pinned and recent items for Windows Explorer only:
1. open %appdata%Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
2. delete 1B4DD67F29CB1962.AUTOMATICDESTINATIONS-MS
