A Mac user's dock is a sacred place. We customize our dock to no end, and if you're ultra organized like me, you even use dock separators to group your app icons.

To remove this recent applications feature:
Click the Apple menu, then choose System Preferences
Click the Dock icon
Uncheck the Show recent applications in Dock checkbox

Actually, mine was already unchecked (I have OS Mohave for a while). I checked and unchecked again, and they are still the same 504 docs under Recents. No way to delete them; unless I delete them manually but it will delete the original docs in my computer.
