How to Reset and Sync Microsoft Edge Data
Resetting Microsoft Edge data clears broken cloud records and forces your current browser settings to update across all your devices running Microsoft Edge version 120 or later. This process wipes online bookmarks, saved passwords, and browsing history, replacing them with clean data from your current local browser profile.
Fixing missing bookmarks or clearing stuck chat history takes a few clicks in the settings menu, and 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.
