    History delete does not delete history! Multiple browers same issue.


    Ok.. when I type in something in the address bar... it starts putting up past addresses as "suggestions". So I did the normal history deletes, then data deletes, then everything but saved password deletes.. still there. So.. I installed a DIFFERENT browser. (was using Opera, installed Brave as a test base) And when using Brave.. I type in the same way.. and the links what were popping up in OPERA.. appear in BRAVE now !! Tho it has never been to those addresses. HOW is this possible? Even when using DuckDuckGo..as a search.. the same links come up. Is Windows 10 itself, storing this info, then feeding it somehow into these browsers? what is going on?

    ok, on a whim, went to Edge... ( i never really use it) and typed in same thing I used on the other two browsers.. it does NOT do, what Opera and Brave are doing? WTH?

    :)

    Delete People History

    Then it is contact history.

    I see no way to delete contact history directly.

    You would have to delete the event that is listed in history.

    If you have 'Home' as a contact, go to phone history, search for 'Home' and delete the call events to 'Home' they will not show up in history any longer
