The Edge browser stores the browsing history that you’ve visited, however, it also enables you with deleting the history for the selected time range.
You can choose the Clear browsing data settings page on the computer browser; for mobile browsers, you can directly access the History menu tab to clear the remembered history using the Trash icon on the History page.
