Deleting your browsing history on a Surface Pro is straightforward. The following steps outline how to clear your history, cookies, and cached images within the default browser.

Here's how you can delete your history:

  1. Access Settings: Tap the Settings icon (usually a gear icon).

  2. Find Options: Select Options from the settings menu.

  3. Locate History: Scroll down until you see the History section.

  4. Select Items to Clear: Tap Select. This will allow you to choose the specific types of data you want to delete.

  5. Choose What to Delete: Place a checkmark in the boxes next to the items you want to clear. The reference suggests leaving the top 3 default options selected:

    • Cached images
    • Cookies
    • Browsing history
  6. Confirm Deletion: After selecting the desired items, confirm the deletion (the exact wording may vary depending on the browser version). This will remove your selected history items, including cookies and cached images.

This process clears your browsing data, helping to protect your privacy and potentially improve your browser's performance.
