Magento: Remove recently viewed lists in left side box, Hide Recently viewed box in left/Right Nav in Magento

In Magento, We researched over the admin panel to remove recently viewed items in left side box of my store. But I couldn't able to find the solutions in backend.

 Finally i got an idea to remove Magento recently viewed box via xml file manually. It’s easy method to remove box.

1. Go to the location: app/design/frontend/default/THEMEFOLDER/layout/
 Find the file names as "reports.xml"
If you can't found go to the base: app/design/frontend/default/base/layout/reports.xml
2. Find the below line in reports.xml file
<block type="reports/product_viewed" before="right.permanent.callout" name="right.reports.product.viewed" template="reports/product_viewed.phtml" />
3. Just remove or hide the above line.
4. Go to your store in the browser, refresh the page and you are done.

Hopefully, this article useful for you. Please comment if you find any other way to remove recently viewed products in our Magento store.
