"Shift + Delete" no longer deleting individual entries in a Saved Info drop down menu.

Recently, the ability to delete individual entries that were saved as autofill suggestions in Edge seems as though it's been entirely removed. I can still clear the whole list, but I am only wanting to delete just one entry. There used to be a button on the right end of each autofill entry to delete that entry. It then became that the only way to delete entries was using the "Shift + Delete" on a selected entry. It seems recently however that the ability to remove individual entries has been removed entirely

"Shift + Delete" does not work, nor does just the "Delete" key. I have also tried other key combinations such as: Ctrl + Delete, Shift + Ctrl + Delete, and all the aforementioned combinations, but instead of using the Delete key I have tried using Backspace. My version of edge is 131.0.2903.99, but the issue is also present on 131.0.2903.86. I am hoping there is a fix for this as it has hindered my workflow.

    Hello Ethan_Morton_04 and welcome to the Microsoft Community!

    According to your feedback, you are experiencing an issue where “Shift + Delete” is unable to delete individual entries saved as autofill suggestions.

    This is an issue that has been reported by many users.

    However, I apologize, the ability to delete individual entries has been removed.

    Therefore, we need you to bring this issue to the attention of the edge team to update this feature.

    You can do this by going to the edge homepage and clicking on the “Feedback” button in the bottom right corner.

    I noticed that you need this feature for your workflow.

    I have a way to install an older version of edge.

    I don't know which version removed the “Shift + Delete” feature for deleting individual entries.

    So you may have to try to download many versions of edge to test it.

    I can provide it to you if you want.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.
