| 2 | Turn off Sync > Confirm reset | Clears cloud-stored history/suggestions |
| 3 | Re-enable sync after clearing local data | Starts fresh sync |
For deep cleans:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default > Delete History, Top Sites, Web Data files.Still issues? Microsoft's official Edge support has troubleshooting tools.
