Two issues

The open company list is simply a list of recent companies.  You can control the number of companies in the list through File>Open previous company>number of companies.

If you want to retain the data but not show the company in the list, open more companies until the one that you dont' want drops off. 

If you want to remove the data you have to delete the data file.  The entry in the list will stay there but (obviously) won't work

For older versions...

As a tidier option, you can edit this list of files - in the program directory (probably C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks) you will see a file called QBW.INI which you can edit in Notepad.  The list of recent files is at the very bottom of this and you can delete the entry that is not required.

Not sure how to do this in 2008 or 2010 however...
