Take the pop culture acronym challenge
Techies use MRU to mean "most recently used." Most often, this acronym refers to the files on your computer that you've accessed most recently. For example, a system scanning program may allow you to sort your files by MRU or LRU (least recently used).
However, MRU may also refer to recently-accessed files stored on a portable hard drive or in the cloud, or other recently-used data. Occasionally (though rarely), you may even encounter MRU used in a non-technical context.
