Windows 10: How long after deleting browser/search/location and or download history from Bing/Edge does...

HiI was just wondering how long it takes for Microsoft to actually delete your activity after. I read in the privacy statement that clearing data only removes your local cashed and will prevent it from popping up on your dashboard, but will still be backed up and de-identified. Is this backup stored forever, or just for a year or two? just as an example.If not, does deleting your account remove it?Thank you for your time

:)

how to delete Bing search history

Hi everyone

Im sorry but I just find Microsofts system so unnecessarily long winded and confusing! I'm trying to delete my Bing search history, everytime I try it asks me to login to my account, which I do, but there is no option to delete Bing search history! I've
deleted whatever "history" options there were, but to no avail! Bing search history remains! Very frustrating indeed. It's utterly ridiculous!

 

History of search in Bing

Hello,

I do not use Bing for my searches, but yesterday I opened the Bing history and I found a website that I’m sure I never visited (porn dating site…)

If I read the list of Bing history, I find other pages, but I use W10, I have a Windows account and sometimes I click the link on the screensaver, to search where the picture is token.

But…never visit a porn dating site.

Some suggestion? Why I have this history?
