When I try to clear Edge browser history, the page appears, but is incomplete.

At least one more entry is at the bottom of the page, but I cannot read it.

Cannot use Apps/Edge/Modify to clean Edge browser.

Any advice, please?Screenshot (30)

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for posting your question here. Edge sometimes fails to properly resize modal dialogs, including Delete browsing data.

Please try the following to fix this:

  1. Check Windows display scaling:

-Close Microsoft Edge

-Go to Settings → System → Display

-Under Scale, temporarily set it to 100%

-Reopen Edge and try clearing history again

After clearing, you can restore your preferred scaling (125%, 150%, etc.).

  1. Use the keyboard shortcut, this opens a simpler dialog.

-Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete

-Set Time range to All time

-Select the data you want to remove

-Press Enter

This avoids the problematic Settings layout entirely.

Let me know if you have questions, I'm here to help.

    The History/Delete browsing data dialog in Microsoft Edge is scrollable; the additional entries at the bottom must be reached by scrolling rather than resizing the window.

    To view and clear all options on that page:

    1. Open Edge and go to Settings and more (…) > Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
    2. Under Clear browsing data, select Choose what to clear.
    3. In the Delete browsing data panel that opens, use the scroll bar on the right side of that panel (or the mouse wheel) to scroll down until all entries are visible.
    4. Under Time range, choose the desired range (for example, All time).
    5. Select the check boxes for the data types to clear (such as Browsing history, Cached images and files, etc.), then select Clear now.

    If the panel still appears cut off or unusable, clear cached images and files, then reopen Edge and try again:

    1. In Edge, enter edge://settings/clearBrowserData in the address bar.
    2. Set Time range to All time.
    3. Select Cached images and files (and optionally Browsing history), then select Clear now.
    4. Close and reopen Edge and return to the Delete browsing data dialog.

    If Edge continues to misbehave or the UI is corrupted, run a repair of Microsoft Edge from Windows:

    1. Close Edge for all users.
    2. Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
    3. Select Microsoft Edge and then Modify.
    4. Approve the UAC prompt and select Repair. This keeps browser data and settings.
