Where does UE4 store its references for the My Projects list?

Occasionally, it decides to show a second thumbnail for the same project folder in My Projects. I’m pretty sure I’ve sorted out why this happens (remapped Unreal Projects folder + occasionally opening a project by double-clicking the uproject file = UE4 recording multiple paths to the same folder). But in order to get rid of the extra thumbnail, I need to know where these references are stored.

I can move the source folder elsewhere, which does make the thumbnails go away, but both come back when the folder is returned.

That is populated based on the recently opened project files list.

You can find it at (relative to your UE4 install): Engine\Saved\Config\Windows\EditorGameAgnostic.ini

It’s the RecentlyOpenedProjectFiles key under the /Script/UnrealEd.EditorGameAgnosticSettings section.

Just remove any of the project files in there that are using the wrong path.

Well, it wasn’t there on my system, so it took me awhile to find it, but that gave me the info I needed to do so. It was actually under the Local Application Data directory:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\UnrealEngine\4.1\Saved\Config\Windows\EditorGameAgnostic.ini

aka

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\4.1\Saved\Config\Windows\EditorGameAgnostic.ini

Thank you very much for the help!

Maybe this thread is old, but I found mine at:
C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\4.1\Saved\Config\Windows\EditorSettings.ini
