In Eclipse 3.5.2 there is a "recent workspaces" list where you can remove obsolete workspaces under Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces. I just did that a minute ago and the entry is now gone on startup. Maybe it depends on the version you’re using.

I visited Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspaces but there is no option to remove entries from the cached list of recently-opened workspaces. There are options to prompt for a workspace on startup, and to refresh the workspace on startup, but I don't see any place to manipulate the list of already-recorded recently-visited workspaces. Separately from that, under Window > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown > Workspace there are a few other options related to workspaces but again, these do NOT include an option to remove entries from the cached list of recently-opened workspaces. I used the 'surgical' approach described in the original post (edit the file directly) and it appears to work fine. Just one very minor correction: the directory appears to be \configuration\.settings (with an 's' on the end of '.settings'), not '.setting' (with no 's').
