Go to (Ctrl + G) contains directories that don't exist anymore

When pressing ctrl+g and typing in a name of a directory I want to open, the first search results are directories that existed at some point but were deleted since. This is annoying, as the one I actually want to open requires scrolling. How do I remove these stale directories from the search results?

It's a MRU list, edit here:
Tools | List Management | Address Bar & Go to...

I cleared the list, but the directories in question still appear when I use Ctrl + G.

Typing chars in that field: It takes open tabs into account. You don't haven open tabs with non-existing paths open, do you?
Better show a screenshot...

No, these paths are not open in any tab.
This screenshot shows the two stale directories when starting to type after pressing ctrl + g. The only open tab is at "This PC":

And here you can see that the go-to list is empty:

I have tried restarting XYPlorer and the OS, and also cleared the "History" list in case it played into this, but no luck. I hope it's not a problem that I'm using a trial version?

No, that's not the problem
Do the
C:\Workspaces paths exist in the XYplorer.ini file?
If yes, in which key / section?
Menu - Go - Go to Application Data Folder
to get to that file

It exists in the ini file: "C:\Workspaces\" is part of MiniTreePaths under [Settings] and multiple "C:\Workspaces\" subdirectories are under [mruBrowse] and [mruOpenedItems]

You don't currently use a mini tree as it seems.
Look into List Management - Recent Locations.
Delete those entries there, do they still exist when you use go to...?

Some of them are still in the ini-file, but they are not appearing in go-to anymore, so all is good now. Thanks for your help and patience!
