If you go on reddit.com via browser, on the left column you can see a section called "RECENT" with the list of the last 5 communities recently visited.
If you want to remove them, say for privacy reasons (shared device, etc.), there's no simple way to do so: there's not "X" button next to it, your profile page doesn't offer a way to clear that out. you could clear all the data from the website, but that seems too extreme, no?
Enter Chrome's "Developer Tools"
While on reddit.com open Menu > More Tools > Developers tool, go on the Application tab, Storage > Local storage and select reddit.com; on the center panel you see a list of key-value pairs, look for the key "recent-subreddits-store"; you can see the list of the 5 communities in the JSON below.
If you wanna get rid of the recently viewed communities list, simply delete that key, refresh reddit.com and voila, empty list.
Note: I'm fairly sure i read about this method somewhere, i simply cant remember where, but it's definitely not me who came up with it. I just needed to use it recently and had to back track memories to figure it out again, so it's time to write it down.

You can also go to old.reddit.com and that list never gets populated.
