  1. "Clear" button not appearing when trying to delete activity history


    Hello, I wanted to delete my activity history on my pc windows 10. I went to the privacy settings and when I try to delete my activity history, there's no "clear" button to do so. I have 2 gmail accounts linked to this profile and a school mail account too all three have activity history turned off. I have the "store my activity history on this device" option unchecked. Don't know if it helps, but I also have the cloud search history turned off and the windows search history too. I tried to link a photo to this question but it didn't let me, saying "failed to upload" althought this is not

    :)

    My edge clear history has stopped working. The only way I can clear the history is to right click on web page in the history list then select delete.
