First change the VLC setting so that it could not remember Recent Played List.
Open VLC player. Go to Tools << Preferences and Under Interface, there is an option “Save recent played list”. uncheck that option. Follow the below image.

Now after disable the option, we have to disable the default options of Windows also. Actually is a feature of Windows. Whatever you do in your system, Windows make a temp folder and save all items. You can navigate to the folder.
Click on start or My Computer and paste
“%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items” or go to “C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items”.
To delete all recent activities, open cmd and paste this code.
del %appdata%\microsoft\windows\recent\automaticdestinations\*

To disable this feature permanently right click on your “Toolbar” and go to Properties<< Start Menu option and uncheck the option “Store and display recent opened in the Start menu and the taskbar.”

Now open your VLC player and right click on the taskbar icon, you won’t see recent items anymore.Be advised: This would disable to remember all application’s history not only for VLC. :)
