Windows
Click the three-dot menu in Microsoft Edge ••• . You'll see these three horizontal dots at the top-right corner of Edge on your PC. Clearing your Edge cache and cookies on your PC only clears the files from your computer. However, if you also clear your browsing history, you'll be clearing your history from all devices on which you use Edge. Optional: If you use Edge on other devices and don't want to clear the cache on those devices, you'll want to turn off Sync first. Click Profiles on the three-dot menu, choose Sync, then select Turn off Sync.
Click Setttings. It's near the bottom of the menu.
Click Privacy, search, and services. This option is in the left panel toward the top of the window.
Click the Choose what to clear button under "Clear browsing data." This expands the "Clear browsing data" window.
Select All time from the "Time range" menu. By default, Last hour is selected, which means you'll only be clearing the cache you've accumulated for the last hour of use. Click the menu and select All time to clear your entire cache.
Uncheck the items you don't want to delete. If you only want to clear your cache, remove the checkmarks from all items except for "Cached images and files." If you want to clear other data, like your browsing history, cookies, or site permissions, check those boxes.
Click Clear now. This clears your browsing cache (and any other data you've selected) from Microsoft Edge.

However, if you opt to delete your browsing history, your history will be removed from all other devices on which you use Edge.
