Introduction Why Delete URLs From Your Edge Address Bar?
Microsoft Edge, like other browsers, remembers the websites you visit. This helps with autocomplete suggestions in the address bar, but it can also be a privacy concern. You might not want certain URLs to appear in your suggestions.
This guide will show you how to easily remove specific URLs from the Microsoft Edge address bar, giving you more control over your browsing history and enhancing your privacy.
Step-by-Step Deleting a URL in Microsoft Edge
Here’s how to remove a URL from your Edge address bar suggestions:
1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the Edge browser on your computer.
2. Start Typing: In the address bar, start typing the URL you want to delete. As you type, Edge will display autocomplete suggestions.
3. Select the URL: Use the Up and Down arrow keys on your keyboard to select the specific URL you want to remove from the suggestions.
4. Use the Shortcut: Once the URL is selected, press the 'Shift + Delete' keys simultaneously on your keyboard. The URL will be immediately removed from the address bar suggestions.
That's it! The unwanted URL is now deleted from your address bar suggestions.
Important Understanding the Process
Keep in mind that this action only removes the URL from the address bar suggestions. The URL will still exist in your browsing history. To completely remove the URL from your browsing history, you'll need to delete your browsing history in Edge. This includes browsing history, cookies and other site data, and cached images and files.
Deleting your browsing history is an effective way to maintain your privacy and keep your browsing experience streamlined.
