Erase Browsing Data On Google Chrome
Begin by opening the Google Chrome browser. From here, tap on the ellipsis tool at the top right corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, find and click on “Settings.”
Then click the “Privacy & Security” option and find the “Delete Browsing Data” option. Click on it to proceed.
From the “Time range” drop-down menu, choose the period for which you want to clear data (e.g., “Last 24 hours,” “Last 7 days,” “All time”). Then, click on what you’d like to be deleted, i.e., browsing history, cookies and other site data, and cached images. Once you select the desired options, tap on “Delete Data.“
This process helps maintain your privacy and can help troubleshoot performance issues with the browser. Keep in mind that clearing browsing data will log you out of most websites and may remove some saved preferences
