How can i clear the Directory dropdown for Find in Files?

I created an Autoit Script to assist me in my work by running a string in Notepad++'s File in Files against multiple directories.

during testing however it did enter some bugged text in some fields. while most are just text boxes and thus not a problem the Directory: dropdown/text box has saved some of these bugged entries in the dropdown like

BalanceRuleCatCodesD:_Work\Automation\ks\Azure\rptObjectAnalysis

aside from the start of that the \ks\ part is actually missing a chunk of the string that was supposed to be inputted

I want to know how i can clear the Directory dropdown for Find in Files without needing to uninstall and reinstall it

Open config.xml file (it is in the same directory as file which opens on menu Settings > Edit Popup ContextMenu) and delete all unnecessary Path entries, then save and restart Notepad++.

The following image shows where five of them near the beginning of the file:

• you are editing the config of the editor itself so make sure that (if this is not obvious)
  1. you exited the Notepad++ before editing its config file
  2. you are editing the file in some different editor
  3. you start Notepad++ only after you saved the updated config
