Hi ,

I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

Recent Searches is removed in Windows 11 File Explorer, however, go to Settings > Privacy & security > Search Permission > History > Clear Device Search History.

Does it work for you?

Clicking "clear device search history" doesn't seem to do anything. No notifications or any activity to show that something is doing, well something.
