Hi,
OneDrive doesn't directly provide the option to make a clear list of recent. However, you can try to clear the cache and cookies.
Or you can choose not to show the "Recent Files" list, under "File" option it can list all your files.
I suggest you try to give a feedback to Microsoft about this behavior in OneDrive:
