Key notes
- Microsoft is testing a new feature in Edge’s Copilot to allow users to delete all chat history at once.
- Currently, Edge Copilot has the option to delete one chat record at a time, which takes more time and effort to delete all records.
- The option to delete all Copilot chat from the Edge sidebar is not available for general users.
A few days ago, Microsoft said it’s confident that Copilot will be profitable in the long run even if it’s struggling right now. That’s why it keeps improving the chatbot across all platforms, including the Microsoft Edge browser. One of the major features for Edge’s Copilot Microsoft was spotted working is making it super easy for users to delete the complete chat history.
You can access Copilot from Edge’s sidebar to ask questions, generate images, and resume a chat from the chat history. However, while you can delete an individual chat easily, erasing the complete chat history is painful, especially if you have a lot of it. Deleting different chat records one by one is the only way to delete the complete chat history, which takes a lot of time and effort. However, the good news is Microsoft is fixing this in Edge Copilot.
As spotted by famed leaker @Leopeva64, Microsoft Edge will allow users to delete the complete chat history with a couple of clicks instead of deleting each record one at a time. According to a demo posted by the leaker, Microsoft Edge will have a three-dot view setting beside the Plug-ins in the Recent section, and clicking on it will give you the Delete all chat history option.
Deleting all chats at once is currently in the testing phase, so even if you’re running the latest version of Edge, you won’t see it. We haven’t been able to get it working in Edge Canary and Dev, either. This could mean two things: either it’s available for select users or Microsoft is internally testing it and hasn’t rolled it out to Edge Insiders.
If you’re using Edge Canary or Dev, do see the option to delete all chat history? Let us know in the comments section below.
