• Edge stores your browsing history on Microsoft’s servers

    Posted on January 11, 2017 at 12:48 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Apparently if you want to get rid of your Edge browser history – the list of URLs you’ve accessed – you have to delete the browsing history in Edge, but then you ALSO have to delete the copies that are stored in Microsoft’s servers.

    I didn’t know that. Anybody else encounter it?

    IE only stores browsing history locally. Edge stores two copies, one on the machine, the other in the cloud.

    Details coming tomorrow.
