How can I clear or delete browsing history on Windows 10?

Browser-specific command-line options can sometimes be used to automate clearing browsing history, but most browsers do not provide dedicated command-line switches to completely clear browsing history or cache directly. However, some browsers support certain flags or can be started with options that help automate clearing browsing history on Windows 10.

1. Google Chrome
Chrome does not have a direct command-line switch to clear browsing history, but you can start Chrome with a clean profile or delete the profile data externally (via script).

2. Mozilla Firefox
Firefox does not support command-line options for clearing browsing history directly.

3. Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based)
Edge also lacks command-line switches for clearing browsing history directly.

Workaround: Use command-line options for browsers
While browsers don't support explicit "clear history" switches, you can:

• Launch browsers with a temporary profile.
• Use automation tools or scripts to delete profile data folders.

Example: Launch Chrome with a fresh profile

start chrome --user-data-dir="%TEMP%\ChromeTempProfile"

This opens Chrome with a temporary profile, which has no history or cookies.
