How to clear Edge history

Most web page data is cached locally on your computer as you browse the Internet. This process helps sites load faster and reduces the amount of data transferred over your connection when you revisit them. Furthermore, this saved data can make it easier to locate a site again if you forgot to favorite it during your previous session.

To help keep your Internet activities private or free up disk space, you can delete this stored information. To learn how to clear your browsing history in Microsoft Edge, follow the steps below.
