>When a Dolphin instance is opened, the menu bar shows the symbol "personal folder",
>followed by the actual folder path (/ > home > my_name > …). A click on the "personal folder"

I am not totally sure if I understand which button you mean, so excuse me if my
response will be wrong.

I assume you are talking about the button that is only visible when the
"Places" panel is hidden. The "Places" panel can be shown/hidden by pressing
the F9 key. This button is a replacement for the places panel and therefore
contains similar actions as the "Places" panel. You can first show that panel
again and then edit the contents of that panel using right-click menus. Once
you hide the panel again, the button you are talking about should reflect the
changes you did to the places panel.

>Or better: Can I set up Dolphin in such a way that the menu shows *only* the personal folder,
>the root folder, and eventually the mount points of mounted file systems.

You can hide sections in the places panel and this will also hide them in the
menu of that button.

>I do not want Dolphin to memorize all my movements. Can I purge the list?

Recently accessed files can be purged under system settings>recent files. There
you can also disable the feature of keeping track of your recent files.

I hope this solves all your problems!
