How to Reset and Sync Microsoft Edge Data
Microsoft Edge data reset and sync clears out broken cloud data and pushes your current browser settings to all your devices. Bookmarks, saved passwords, and browsing history stored online get wiped clean, and your local browser data takes their place.
Fixing missing bookmarks on a Windows 11 computer or clearing AI chat history takes just a few clicks in the settings menu. A fresh cloud sync stops old data from popping back up on your phone or laptop.
To reset and sync Microsoft Edge data, open Edge, click the three dots, select Settings, then Profiles, and click Sync. Scroll down and select Reset sync, then confirm the action to clear cloud data and upload your current browser data.

Click the 'Reset sync' button. This action clears data from the cloud.
A confirmation window appears. Click 'Reset' to confirm the deletion of Microsoft server data.
