Answer 2

To delete saved information on Windows 11 and in Microsoft Edge, clear it in the places where Windows and Edge store it:

1. Delete saved passwords and form data in Microsoft Edge
   1. Open Edge.
   2. Select Settings and more (⋯) > Settings.
   3. Go to Privacy, search, and services.
   4. Under Clear browsing data, select Choose what to clear next to Clear browsing data now.
   5. Choose a Time range (for example, All time).
   6. Select the data types to remove, such as:
      • Browsing history
      • Download history
      • Cookies and other site data
      • Cached images and files
      • Passwords (this removes saved website passwords in Edge)
      • Autofill form data (addresses, etc., if shown)
   7. Select Clear now.
   8. (Optional) Still under Privacy, search, and services, select Choose what to clear every time you close the browser and turn on the items that should always be deleted when Edge closes.
2. Turn off or manage password saving in Edge
   1. In Edge, go to Settings and more (⋯) > Settings.
   2. Select Profiles > Passwords.
   3. Under Offer to save passwords, turn this Off if no longer wanting Edge to store new passwords.
   4. Review and delete individual saved passwords from this page if needed.
3. Clear browsing data stored in the Microsoft cloud
   • If Edge sync is on, some browsing data may also be stored in the cloud.
   • Go to the Microsoft privacy dashboard to view or delete cloud-stored browsing data. Data deleted there is not removed from the local device.
4. Delete Windows-saved passwords (system-wide)
   1. On Windows 11, open Start and type credential manager, then select Credential Manager Control panel.
   2. Select Web Credentials to remove saved website credentials stored by Windows.
   3. Select Windows Credentials to remove saved credentials for apps, network shares, etc.
   4. For any entry that should be removed, select it and choose Remove.
5. Stop and clear activity history (if “saved info” refers to recent activity)
   1. Open Settings > Privacy & security > Activity history.
   2. Turn Store my activity history on this device to Off.
   3. Under Clear activity history for this account, select Clear history.
6. Check synced settings and passwords in Windows
   1. Open Settings > Accounts > Windows backup.
   2. Under Remember my preferences, turn off items that should not sync (for example, Accounts, WiFi networks and passwords).
   3. For passwords specifically stored by Windows, use Credential Manager as in step 4.

These steps remove most “saved info” such as passwords, form data, browsing history, and activity history associated with Windows 11 and Microsoft Edge.
