--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The function itself is easy to understand and the result should not come with a
surprise. However, it is a destructive action that cannot be undone. If the
warning is implemented, it needs to be a querydialog that allows users to not
show it again. 

Easy hack:

The command run via main menu is executed in
RecentFilesMenuController::itemSelected() (CMD_CLEAR_LIST), when done from the
start center it is RecentDocsView::clearUnavailableFiles(), see
sfx2/source/control/recentdocsview.cxx. An example for the querydialog is
SwView::ExecViewOptions()... case FN_VIEW_FIELDNAME in
sw/source/uibase/uiview/view0.cxx (see also
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/185213).
