If you update at least to the 4.3 branch you will have the option to remove
any document from the recent list (I would recommend 4.4.7 which is the last
release in the 4.x tree)
If you want to stick with 4.2 you can use the History Master  extension
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/history-master
After installing, close LibreOffice, reopen, click on Tools > Add-Ons >
History Master > Remove inaccessible items

Notice that documents in currently disconnected drives (such as an external
HDD) will also be removed.

I believe such an option would be useful (an "Unlock document" button). Can
you add an Enhancement request in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org ?
