Without panacea.dat, how do I clear my recent folders list?

Hey, folks! To clear my list of recent folders, I used to simply delete panacea.dat from the profile folder and let Thunderbird rebuild it. But now I see that panacea.dat is no longer there (running 102.0 beta on Windows 10).

Is there a new way to reset/clear that list now that panacea.dat is gone? Thanks for suggestions!

Nope, no joy — didn’t clear the list.

There is the bug where the file name was changed. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418551#c74

Nope, didn’t work! I deleted folderCache.json, but it didn’t change anything — the old list of recent folders remains.
