I am looking for a way to reload/refresh the "apple symbol" menu in the upper left corner from the terminal.

Searching for ways to refresh the menu has only led me to find the command

Code:
killall -KILL SystemUIServer

this only reload the "widgets" on the right side of the menu and not the content on the left.

I am looking for a way to do this since I have emptied the "recent files" menu programatically (by removing the info from the
Code:
com.apple.recentitems.plist
file with
Code:
defaults delete com.apple.recentitems RecentDocuments
) but it doesn't show up. (I know that it is possible to turn off the recent files menu completly but that is not what I want).
