I searched but couldn't find a solution here. Sorry if it's a dumb question!

Here's a way, without any editing:

Open and Close all the project you want to show up there.

Thanks. Yes, that would work. But there must be a more flexible way to simply edit the current Recents without having to resort to your hack.

You also have the option to File>Open Recent>Clear Menu from within DP.

Thanks! That works, and having done the "Clear Menu," I quit and reopened DP and it showed only the one file I'd opened.

I would imagine this is the best solution. Thanks again!

Although I did not have this problem with DP, many apps were not showing Recents including Apple’s Text. This was a bug introduced with Sonoma 14.7.2 and resolved a few days ago by the 14.7.3 update. Not all users experienced this and I received pisspoor treatment by Apple Support. I had to remind upper management that the macOS is supported for three years since release. People are getting talked to and I’ll leave it at that.
