Were you signed into your account when you viewed the shared link? Did you add the file to your account?

      Thanks for the info, it won't be possible to manually remove that item from the Recents folder.

       

      However, since there is a maximum of 20 items listed, if you open 20 files in your Dropbox account, this will repopulate the Recents page with those files, thus removing this shared link from the page.
