Edge clear cached images and files on exit
Hi there,
To reduce confusion with the existing Clear browsing data policy, we created a policy dedicated to Cached images and files. This is currently in Edge83. Hopefully this addresses your needs!
Here's a preview of the policy description:

Shirley,
I have just deployed the new Edge browser and have configured the new "Clear cached images and files when Microsoft Edge closes" GPO option however, with this enabled it is clearing everything. We are on the Edge version 85.0.564.63. Is this expected? All history is wiped out on browser exit when this feature is enabled. Is this expected?

cipo80 I know it's not super clear, but the ConfigureCookies policy should get you what you need. There's an option for: SessionOnly (4) = Keep cookies for the duration of the session, except ones listed in 'SaveCookiesOnExit' (Save cookies when Microsoft Edge closes) which will clear cookies when the browser closes.

Hi @ShirleyNg , same problem here after many releases, actually 96.
If I want to clear cookies data like Sharepoint and Teams (4-500MB for evey users) I need to "Clear browsing data when Microsoft Edge closes" GPO option however, with this enabled it is clearing everything, also the saved passwords.
If I enable only the "Clear cached images and files when Microsoft Edge closes" the Sharepoint and teams data still there.
Any planning updates ?
In Firefox it was more simple, one flag/policy that clear the "sites cache" and anything else.
