    Dear @Randy Whitehead

    There is no separate InPrivate browsing history stored in Microsoft Edge that you need to manually delete. Once you close all InPrivate windows, Edge automatically removes the local InPrivate browsing history, cookies, cache, and other temporary browsing data.User's image

    InPrivate browsing history is deleted automatically when all InPrivate windows are closed in Microsoft Edge. That includes browsing history, cookies and site data, cached images and files, passwords, autofill form data, site permissions, and hosted app data.

    If any InPrivate windows are still open, close all of them first.

    Important details:

    • Favorites and downloaded files are not deleted.
    • Extensions can still save browsing history while browsing InPrivate.
    • Other people using the device will not see InPrivate activity, but a school, workplace, or internet service provider might still have access to that data.

    If the goal is to remove regular Edge data stored on the device, use:

    1. In Microsoft Edge, select Settings and more > Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data.
    2. Select Choose what to clear next to Clear browsing data now.
    3. Choose a Time range.
    4. Select the data types to remove, then select Clear now.
