Many people use VLC
Media Player and I think everyone likes privacy also. But in Windows 7
or Windows 8, VLC somehow violate your privacy. You play some videos and
delete from recent played list from VLC Preferences but it is not
enough. If you right click on VLC icon on the dock, you can see all
recent played items. So privacy sucks. Here is the solution.
First change the VLC setting so that it could not remember Recent Played List.
Open VLC player. Go to Tools << Preferences and Under Interface, there is an option “Save recent played list”. uncheck that option. Follow the below image.
Now after disable the option, we have to disable the default options of Windows also. Actually is a feature of Windows. Whatever you do in your system, Windows make a temp folder and save all items. You can navigate to the folder.

To delete all recent activities, open cmd and paste this code.
