How to View and Delete All Your Windows 10 Activity History

Windows 10 collects and saves your activity history both on your computer and to the cloud, from browsing history to location information to everything in between. Luckily Microsoft makes it easy to see all the data that is being stored, and also makes it easy to delete it.

You can easily see what data has been stored and how to delete it. There are two ways you can clear your activity history: either directly within your computer’s settings or in your Microsoft cloud account. To do it on your computer, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Activity History.
  2. Under Clear Activity History, click the Clear button.
  3. If you want to prevent Windows from continuing to collect this data, under Collect Activities toggle off the option: Let Windows collect my activities.

  3. Here, you should see your data divided into the categories listed above: Browsing History, Search History, Location Activity, Voice Activity, Cortana’s Notebook, and Health Activity. You can view and clear data in each section, by clicking the clear data button that corresponds with each section, and click the button confirming that you want to delete it.
