File history within Lutris and Gnome File Explorer under KDE
For clarification I am running KDE.
While tinkering around my Lutris installations, I noticed that it is picking up the recent file access of my entire computer, even though I set KDE to save that overall. From my understanding, it seems that Lutris does not open the Dolphin file explorer but what looks to be a Gnome one and it is driving me nuts. I tested both .cache and .config and whatever is storing this information is not there. I hope someone might be able to help.

Solution
In case anyone has a reason to ever deal with this.
The file that contains the data is:
~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
delete that and it will clear the history. To prevent future writes run:
echo -e "\ngtk-recent-files-max-age=0\ngtk-recent-files-limit=0" >> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
That command will set up the gtk3 settings to not save history.
