I renamed a big folder that contains a lot of files I recently edited.
After changing the name, my neovim's `v:oldfiles` list contains the old names that is no longer accessible. How can I clean the list or fix the list to reflect the renaming. 

I use `fzf` to access the mru files.
I tried to set the variable directly but it doesn't work

I followed the selected answer to solve the problem for `neovim`. But when I write the file, even without any change and directly do `:w`, I encounter the following error and have no idea how to solve it.

    Error detected while processing function

**Update** The error is reported to [neovim](https://vi.stackexchange.com/posts/17227/edit). 

A possible fix is to change line 609 of `runtime/autoload/msgpack.vim` from

    elseif s =~# '-\?\%(inf\|nan\)'

to

    elseif s =~# '^-\?\(inf\|nan\)$'

The code affects all versions of neovim.
