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

Using Group Policy or Registry settings to manage or delete browsing history on Windows 10 can be done, but it's important to understand the limitations:

• Group Policy and Registry mainly control browser behavior and settings, such as automatic clearing of history on exit or disabling browsing history storage.
• They do not directly delete existing browsing history stored locally or in files.
• To force delete browsing history via Group Policy or Registry, you typically set policies that make browsers delete history upon closing or prevent history from being saved.

For Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based):
You can configure policies to delete browsing data on exit:

1. Download and install the Microsoft Edge policy templates.
2. Use Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) or Registry Editor to set policies like:
"Clear browsing data on close" (this delete history, cache, cookies when the browser closes).

Registry example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"ClearBrowsingDataOnExit"=dword:00000001

For Internet Explorer:
You can set policies to delete browsing history on exit via:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
"ClearRecentHistoryOnExit"=dword:00000001
