How to Clear your Browsing Data in Microsoft Edge in Windows 10


Microsoft Edge is a new web browser added in Windows 10, and will be available across the Windows 10 device family. It is fast, compatible, and built for the modern Web.

Your browsing data is the information that Microsoft Edge remembers and stores on a PC as your browse the web. This includes info you've entered into forms, passwords, and sites you've visited, and it helps make your browsing experience better.

Disable Clear Browsing Data in Microsoft Edge

Hi,

I have Windows 10 Pro and am trying to disable the "Clear Browsing Data" option in Windows Edge. Is this possible? I am not interested in workarounds such as trying to "hide" Edge either. There should be a supported way of doing this.

Or alternatively is there a supported way of disabling Microsoft Edge? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

 

can you clear or reset Edge Browser history without open the Edge browser? my edge browser seams got virus infected ( see the attached photo, however i have tried all the antivirus scan software available including windows 10's defender, McAfee, and few others without successes - simply no of the antivirus software can detect any virus from the windows 10 system. i also updated to the latest of everything. what else can i do? currently, if you open the browser, it will stay ( shucked ) on that page, and i cannot close it. the only way i can close it is by using the task manager.

if you visit this page, your Edge Browser may stop working! take a look at the picture. if i click ok , then it will ask me another question 'if you want to stay on this page'? either i answer yes, or no, it keep asking me the same question. i cannot close the browser! neither can i visit other website! i am simply 'locked' in this page.

 

also, if i use task manager to close the browser. next time i open the edge, it will go directly to this page and stay there.....

 

Ok, Search for "Edge settings in IE 11" in your Start Menu Search. This will open another tab over your original buggy message. Then you should be able to access the history and cache cleaning via the Microsoft Edge Settings. When all the browsing history will be cleared your Microsoft Edge browser will open normally.
