Windows 10: How do I clear the history?

The way I've always done it, I don't seem to get a message stating that I have actually told the computer to do anything. Links to where I have gone still appear purple. I don't want to clear too much, because I might have to sign in to web sites again.

Clear history in music + videos

So if you have a history item you want off that list, the only option you currently have at this time is to play other items. As they appear in the list, the older history items will scroll off the list.

I would ask that you consider offering your thoughts at the official suggestion box and hopefully someone on the team will push to have that implemented.



I can tell you that they DO READ THEM and your input would be valuable.

Feature suggestions can be made at

You could also use the Suggestion Box app to post suggestions & feature requests for wp8 from your windows
