How can I clear MS Edge History and Saved Passwords programmatically using C# .Net ?

Question

I tried using the following path for clearing cache, history, cookies in MS Edge browser :

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\

But it wasn't a success for me.
Can anyone suggest another approach

Answer 1

I checked the History database from Location of Microsoft Edge history and it contains the data on my version (94.0.992.50 )
As it is a SQLite database, I opened it with SQLite and SQL Server Compact Toolbox
to check that urls or other data were right

Hi @AkshitJain-1520

Do you want to delete cache, history and cookie files of Edge Chromium browser? If so, the location you use is wrong. That's the location for Edge Legacy browser.

The locations for cache, history and cookie files of Edge Chromium are below:
directory: C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cache
file: C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\History
file: C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cookies
