There's a file named other.xml, in Windows that's found in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1 (obviously the Android Studio version may differ)

You can edit the text in <property name="file.chooser.recent.files"> to remove the offending paths, then restart Android Studio.

It may be in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1 – splrs Feb 10 '21 at 14:32
You may need to put C:\Users\\AppData in the address bar as it might be hidden. – splrs Feb 10 '21 at 14:42
