Microsoft Edge: Clear history - how it works

You can also delete the history with the new Microsoft Edge Windows browser, thus obscuring your traces. In this way, all visited pages are removed from the chronicle and thus from your PC. We show you how you can delete the complete data or only the history of the last hour.

Microsoft Edge: Clear history over the past few hours

With Microsoft Edge you can delete the entire history or only the last hour:

1. Click on the favorites folder in the top right, i.e. the folder symbol with the star.
2. Then select the clock icon to open your browser history.
3. At the top you can choose which period you want to delete.
4. Decide on an option and then click on the cross to the right of the selection.

Microsoft Edge: Clear all history

If you want to delete the entire browser history directly, you have to do something different:

1. Open the menu using the symbol with the three dots at the top right of the browser window.
2. Select "Settings" and scroll to the "Clear browser data" option.
3. Click on "Choose an option" and activate the data you want to delete. If you only want to delete the history, check the "Browser history" only.
4. Finally, confirm the process with "Delete".
