By storing user’s browsing data on your hard drive, Microsoft tries to improve its user experience. On daily usage, Microsoft Edge prepares a list of sites you visit and remembers it by forming cookies in your computer. By doing so, Microsoft tends to make a note of most frequent sites visited and creates a shortcut to ease the user from not searching for similar sites again and again.

As soon as you start the Microsoft Edge, it switches to a new window with users most visited websites and creates a timeline for him to access his required sites with ease. But there could be situations where you may have to share your computer with your co-worker or a friend and do not wish to share your Browsed sites due to privacy concerns. Maybe you use your bank website for doing online transitions, and you don’t want to disclose your bank details.

As similar to its competitors, Microsoft Edge is also capable of removing your Browsing history. It is up to the privacy preference that you wish to remove specific sites or the entire list from your browsed sites. So to settle such a problem you can simply delete your Browsing Data which will remove your desired sites from the list or all the data as per your requirement.

Microsoft Edge stores various types of user data which ranges from cached data files, download history, cookies, saved websites, passwords, location permissions and many more details as such to improve on users daily interaction. All such information is stored in the user’s computer hard drive, and some of the data is stored on the cloud to utilize minimum space on the system.
