How to clear Clear recents list in Screen Sharing on mac OS X el capitanEl Capitan

Please help me clear the list of 6 recent connections offered by the Screen Sharing app. View the list via a right-click on this app when docked. This is on mac osxOS X 10.11.2 (el capitanEl Capitan). I've tried shift-click, control-click, option-click etc. on the items but never get a pop-up menu.

This 2008 discussion over at Apple Support Communities points me to ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ScreenSharing.plist, a file which does not exist for me. I do see files com.apple.ScreenSharingLSSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.ScreenSharingSharedDefault.plist but both are tiny and the recents list doesn't appear in either one.

Confusingly, I can see AND CLEARand clear the recents list in the open app by picking menu Connection, item Open Recent, item Clear Menu. That wipes the list shown there. The right-click context menu shown in the docked app remains populated. Baffling!
