    Why did Edge delete all of my save data out of nowhere?


    Especially this week, Edge just keeps deleting my save data. Let's say I log on to a website. However, at some points when I close the window for a couple of minutes, it automatically logs me off of that website. Even on websites that are known to keep you logged on, it logs me off. I also check my search history, but it seems like that is cleared, too. To put it simply, Edge deleted all of my data without my consent. I try my best to be careful, but even when I am, it deletes my data.

    :)

  2. Saving form data in Edge

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for your response.

    I would suggest you to follow the below steps to clear the cache from Edge and check if the issue persist.

    1. Open Edge browser.

    2. On the top right corner click on the
    three dots

    3. Then below click on
    Settings

    4. Under
    clear browsing data

    5. Tap or click on
    Choose what to clear

    6. From the list check
    cached data and files, browsing history

    7. And click on
    clear.

    After this I suggest you to go to the settings -> advanced settings -> then click
    turn off the option save form entries close edge -> again open
    edge go to same option and turn on “save form
    entries“ and check whether the issue persists or not.

    Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
