Comment 4 for bug 33444

I have a similar issue. In my case, the file that was recovered did exist but each time I exit, it asks if I want to recover it again. I don't know if this is related or not. I do have a less than elegant work around that might help some people. Browse to the hidden .openoffice.org2 folder in your /home directory and delete it. You may lose some settings but the problem seems to go away. The folder is recreated the next time you start OOo. There is probably a specific file that could be deleted rather than the whole folder but I couldn't find anything so just deleted it all.
