    Microsoft Edge Browser - Clear Select Autocomplete Entries ?


    On the new Edge browser how in the world do you clear select autocomplete entries?
    I can highlight them with the arrow keys but have now clue how to delete individual autocomplete entries.
    I know that you can clear all under the settings but I only want to delete certain ones.

    Please help. Thanks

    :)

  2. Search Box solution sought

    If you're using Internet Explorer, not Edge go to Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete> Settings. Uncheck Forms. To clear entries that are currently saved, click on Delete AutoComplete history and clear Form Data. No reason to clear anything else at this
    time.

    If this is happening with Bing and/or Google, let me know. There are additional steps to take.

    Auto Complete in Windows 10

    I'm afraid this did not help. I thought I made it clear that I have been using Edge since introduced. With IE I used the Google tool Bar and it had a fantastic auto fill attachment. I really thought Microsoft could come up with something to paste shipping
    or billing info into a form. However I see it took 40,000 community grips and two or three years to be able to print a monthly calendar in Edge. I think my search is over as there is no Function under the Microsoft umbrella.

    Well you used to be able to delete individual entries by moving the cursor over the entry you want to delete using the cursor arrow keys then hitting the backspace or was it the DEL key? Try it.

    Yeah, I just looked into this a bit further, doesn't look like there is an option to delete NOR edit the Autocomplete/Suggestions file, but ONLY to turn it off. (However there's reluctance to help with explaining how to edit/delete the suggested words which are of course a path to your browsing habits. - Caveat. That's probably ONLY till Brink sees this..) hehe

    That may arise concerns over privacy. Microsoft are being hailed about it Scotty. *Smile To join in go to see for yourself.

    I would add your concerns too. Of course it could be this tin hat that keeps me from thinking straight! hehe.
