Recent Files list shows incorrect or irrelevant files

4/10 Low

Figma's Recent Files feature displays inconsistent results, often showing files the user doesn't remember working on and failing to show actual recent work, making it difficult to locate files quickly.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Figma for developers in 2025?”4/9/2026

And when I look at 'Recent files' it only shows one file I don't even remember working on. I've had this account for years so that can't be right.
