    Thank you!But your reply is not a workaround.I want to know the Exchange OWA Offline environment, and you reply to the Outlook.com Online environment.

    Bing ChatAI Answer,not supported by design.Not sure if it is, case O365 and Outlook.com Online can clear search history, Exchange Server OWA should do too.

    Hi @Dicha Ding

    As this setting is within the mailbox, there is no easy method for users to delete it.

    Please contact your Exchange admin and run the following cmdlet in Exchange Management Shell to remove this cache:

    Get-MailboxUserConfiguration -Mailbox <email address> -Identity Configuration\* | Remove-MailboxUserConfiguration -Mailbox <email address>

    Another method is to use MFCMAPI to login the mailbox and delete this entry:

    01

    02
