Repeatable with all applications, including KDE-native.  The recent files lists aren't updated until you open a different menu and then go back to the one where you right-clicked the icon

I did as you said, cleared, reopened, and the list of recent icons is still not cleared.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-03-06 00:10:00 UTC
Can you reproduce the files *never* being cleared, or the files only being cleared after navigating elsewhere and then back (or restarting plasmashell). I can reproduce the latter.

Can you confirm that the items are still there after you restart the computer?

Yes. Just to make sure, I just rebooted now, and the same three items are there.

Thanks!
