This tutorial will show you how to delete all or specific cookies from sites in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device by websites you visit. They serve various purposes, such as remembering login credentials, site preferences, and tracking user behavior. However, you might want to delete cookies for privacy reasons or to resolve browsing issues.

Reference:

Deleting cookies from a site will usually sign you out of the site.


If you are signed in to Microsoft Edge with your Microsoft account, this will delete cookies across all your synced devices signed in with the same Microsoft account. To delete cookies from this device only, you will need to sign out of Microsoft Edge first.
