How do I delete autocomplete history in Windows 10?

Hi,

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide us the information stated below:

• Which web browser are you using to access the web? 
• Do you have favorites saved in the browser? 

To begin with, I would like to inform that auto complete in a web browser refer to the function which allows you to save your passwords, email address, home address, etc. This will ensure that when you enter your personal details, you will not have to type the entire form or dialog boxes.

If you are using Internet Explorer, you can refer to the link below and check.

Hope this helps 

I'm using Microsoft Edge.  From what it sounds like if I delete my saved passwords, it will then delete emails, addresses, etc. on everything, BUT it will also delete the autocomplete info.  I wish they could separate the two - saved passwords as one thing (if you've checked to save) and saved searches (autocomplete) as another.

Thanks.

Hi,

As per the above response, I would like to begin by explaining that auto complete pertains only to the information that the browser saves to make it easier for you when you have to enter your regular personal details via the browser.

When it comes to searches, if you would have created and saved favorites in the browser, it will display or prompt the URL when you enter it on the address bar. However if you didn't create such settings, clearing the browser history should work.

Having stated the above, I suggest that you follow the steps below just to check if you are able to clear your browser history

1. Click on the More actions (…) icon next to      the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan      homepage.
2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

Hope this helps 

I've done that, but left the passwords box unchecked.  If I go back to the search and type in anything I previously searched for it appears again as an autocomplete option. 

The history is never really deleted.
