We wrote about disabling your Recent Documents in Gnome using a little trick but that doesn't work if using BleachBit for instance, because it deletes the .recently-used.xbel folder so the recent documents will be displayed again. So to solve this, here is what to do:

We must edit the .gtkrc-2.0 file:
sudo gedit ~/.gtkrc-2.0

And add the following line:
gtk-recent-file-max-age=0

This will disable your Recent Documents in Gnome:

recent files gnome
