How can I clear or delete browsing history on Windows 10?
Hi! I can help you with delete browsing history on both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. Since you're using Windows 10 and switch between these browsers, I'll give you simple, step-by-step instructions for each.
How to delete Browsing History in Microsoft Edge
1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the window.
3. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
4. In the left sidebar, click on "Privacy, search, and services."
5. Scroll down to the "Clear browsing data" section and click on "Choose what to clear."
6. A pop-up will appear:
Check the boxes for Browsing history, Cookies, cached images and files, etc., depending on what you want to delete.
You can also select the T.ime range.
7. Click "Clear now."
How to delete Browsing History in Google Chrome
1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Click on the three dots in the top-right corner.
3. Hover over "More tools" and then click "Clear browsing data."
(Alternatively, press Ctrl + Shift + Delete on your keyboard for a shortcut.)
4. In the pop-up window:
Choose the T.ime range.
Check Browsing history, Cookies, Cached images and files, etc.
5. Click "Clear data."
To keep things simple, you can set your browsers to clear history automatically when you close them:
Edge: Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data on close.
Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data > Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chrome (toggle on).
