Cloud-stored location history for the Microsoft account:

• If signed in with a Microsoft account and Location services are enabled, location may be periodically saved in the cloud.
• To clear that cloud-stored location activity:

1. Go to account.microsoft.com and sign in.
2. Select Clear location activity.
3. Where is "Clear location activity" ? I do not see it anywhere or under any of the other submenues.

Answer 1

"Clear location activity" is on the Microsoft account privacy dashboard, specifically on the Location page for the signed-in account.

To find it:

1. Open a browser and go to the Microsoft privacy dashboard: account.microsoft.com/privacy.
2. Make sure the correct Microsoft account is signed in.
3. In the dashboard, go to the Location section (this is where cloud-stored location data for the account is managed).
4. In that Location section, use the Clear location activity control, then confirm by selecting Clear.

If the Location section shows no stored data, the Clear location activity control may not be visible or may appear disabled because there is nothing to clear.

Note that local device location history is separate and is cleared from Windows settings (Start > Settings > Privacy & security > Location). Cloud-stored location activity is only managed from the privacy dashboard.
