Microsoft Edge - Browser History?

Hi Barry,

Browsers keep all websites that you have accessed unless you delete the browsing history. Edge and Internet Explorer can keep the history of the accessed websites up to 999 days. To configure the settings, follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Type Internet Options then press Enter.
• Under Browsing history, click on Settings.
• Go to the History tab.
• Adjust the number of days if necessary.

Let us know if you have questions.

Regards.

Hi John,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I see that you need to delete previous browsing history.

Please answer the below question to assist you better,

Which browser are you using Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer?

Follow the below methods and check if it helps,

Method 1: Internet Explorer (Delete Browsing History)

Step 1:

I suggest you to press Shift Key + Ctrl Key + Delete Key together and check the box against History and delete.

Steps 2: Reset Internet Explorer.

I suggest you to try the steps provided to reset Internet Explorer, in the link below.

Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer
Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.

Method 2: Microsoft Edge (Delete Browsing History)

I would suggest you to refer the link below on Viewing or deleting browsing history in Microsoft Edge,

Note: When you use InPrivate Tabs your browsing data (like cookies history or temporary files) isn’t saved on your pc after you are done. Microsoft Edge deletes temporary data from
your pc after all your InPrivate Tabs are closed.

Microsoft Edge - Browser History Retention Time

How long is the Browser History retained within Microsoft Edge and where is this information stored?

A previous poster asked this in 2017 and was advised that "Browsers keep all websites that you have accessed unless you delete the browsing history. Edge and Internet Explorer can keep the history of the accessed websites up to 999 days. To configure the
settings, follow these steps:

1. Click on Start.
2. Type Internet Options then press Enter.
3. Under Browsing history, click on Settings.
4. Go to the History tab.
5. Adjust the number of days if necessary."

However this no longer appears to be the case. This value is set to 20 (confirmed within Internet Options and the Registry) but Microsoft Edge appears to be retaining the browsing history for 90 days. There does not appear to be anywhere within Microsoft
Edge that this can be customised and I have been unable to locate a registry key that stores this information for Microsoft Edge.
