Clearing Browser Data

Question

When attempting to clear browsing data I cannot scroll down far enough to see the CLEAR NOW button

Answer 1

Greetings!

This is Tin, please try to use CTRL + or - key to zoom out and zoom temporarily until you see the Clear now button. Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Tin

Answer 2

Use the keyboard to activate the Clear now button instead of relying on scrolling.

In Microsoft Edge on Windows 11:

1. Open Edge and go to Settings and more (… menu) > Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
2. Under Clear browsing data, select Choose what to clear (or Choose what to clear next to Clear browsing data now). The Clear browsing data pane opens with focus on Time range.
3. Use Tab to move through the options (time range and data type check boxes). Even if the Clear now button is off-screen, continue pressing Tab until focus reaches it.
4. When focus is on Clear now, press Enter to clear the selected data.

If the pane still doesn’t show the button visually, try maximizing the Edge window or temporarily reducing the zoom level (Ctrl+0 to reset zoom) so more of the dialog fits on screen.
