How do I delete tabs on Microsoft Edge?

Published in Microsoft Edge 2 mins read

Deleting tabs in Microsoft Edge is a straightforward process. Here's how you can do it:

Closing Individual Tabs:

  • Click the "x" icon: Hover your mouse over the tab you want to close. An "x" icon will appear on the right side of the tab. Click it to close the tab.
  • Right-click and select "Close": Right-click on the tab you want to close, and then select "Close" from the context menu.
  • Keyboard shortcut: Select the tab you want to close and press Ctrl + W (Windows) or Cmd + W (macOS).

Closing Multiple Tabs:

  • Close Other Tabs: Right-click on a tab you want to keep open, and select "Close other tabs." This will close all tabs except the one you right-clicked on.
  • Close Tabs to the Right: Right-click on a tab, and select "Close tabs to the right." This will close all tabs to the right of the one you right-clicked on.
  • Close All Tabs: Close the entire Edge window. Microsoft Edge will ask if you want to close all tabs if you have multiple tabs open. (This may depend on your settings).

Deleting "Collections" (If That's What You Mean by Tabs):

If you're referring to deleting entire "Collections" in Microsoft Edge (a feature for saving and organizing web content):

  1. Open the Collections menu by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Y (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + Y (macOS).
  2. Hover over the Collection you want to delete.
  3. Click the "..." (More options) button that appears.
  4. Select "Delete".

In summary, you can delete individual tabs with a click, right-click, or keyboard shortcut. You can also close groups of tabs using the right-click menu. If you're looking to delete saved collections, open the Collections menu and choose "Delete."
