How to clear "All data from the previous version of Microsoft Edge"?

Browser version:

Microsoft Edge Dev 90.0.818.0

Operating system version:

Windows 10 Dev 21332.1000

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to "Settings"-->"Privacy, search, and services"-->"Choose what to clear", and open the "Clear browsing data" page;

2. Check "All data from the previous version of Microsoft Edge", and click "Clear now";

3. Open the "Clear browsing data" page again and check the option.

Expected results:

The "All data from the previous version of Microsoft Edge" item is not displayed.

Actual results:

The "All data from the previous version of Microsoft Edge" item is still displayed, as shown in the figure:

  • That's not how I would expect it.
    it's not a dynamic option, it's a static button that's always there, part of the UI, regardless of whether there are any data from previous version of Edge or not.

      But the strange thing is that after I checked "All data from the previous version of Microsoft Edge" on another Win10 system and cleared it, this item disappeared. In other words, this bug is occasional, but the probability of recurrence is very high.
