Deleted items cleared from Recent Items menu

I just noticed that if you open a document then delete it, it automatically disappears from the Recent Items menu in the Apple menu. This is on 10.1.5, but I don't know how long it's been around.

[Editor's note: In testing this simple tip, I noticed a "Clear Menu" option at the bottom of the Recent Items menu. I don't use Recent Items very often (hardly ever, actually), but don't recall seeing that option in earlier versions of OS X. Is this a relatively recent addition, or has it been there since the beginning and I've just missed it?]
