Thanks for the feedback. Do you think you'd need to remove recently closed tabs often?
There's currently no way to remove individual items (this isn't possible on the edge://history page either), but you can get rid of them by clearing your browsing history. You can also open a recently closed tab, navigate to a different page, and close the tab again to change what's visible under recently closed.
