I recently was working with LibreOffice 3.6.1 on my Mac running OS 10.7.4 and put a couple files in the trash and later did a force quit of LibreOffice. I then deleted the files before starting LibreOffice up again. Now, whenever I start LibreOffice, I am required to try to recover the documents and I get the message "Recovery Failed". Is there a way to get this message to go away and to not have to attempt a recovery everytime I start LibreOffice? Does LibreOffice on Mac have a preference file that I can delete to get this message to go away? Thanks.

You can edit the file "registrymodifications.xcu"
(see also... → Recovery.xcu file loaction)
Sample: crashed file "Don't recover.odt"
Search for "RecoveryList"
Remove the following entry (below) to avoid the recovery process (for this file).
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Recovery/RecoveryList">
<node oor:name="recovery_item_3" oor:op="replace">
<prop oor:name="DocumentState" oor:op="fuse">
<value>0</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Filter" oor:op="fuse">
<value>writer8</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Module" oor:op="fuse">
<value>com.sun.star.text.TextDocument</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="OriginalURL" oor:op="fuse">
<value>file:///...path.../Don%E2%80%99t%20recover.odt</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="TempURL" oor:op="fuse">
<value/>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="TemplateURL" oor:op="fuse">
<value>file:///...path.../LibreOffice/3/user/template/01_LibSans_en-US1.ott</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Title" oor:op="fuse">
<value>Don’t recover.odt</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="ViewNames" oor:op="fuse">
<value/>
</prop>
</node>
</item>
I'm not sitting in front of a mac but the file should be something along the lines of ~/Library/Preferences/com.thedocumentfoundation.libreoffice.plist
