Windows Phone 8: Delete Browsing History

By default, Internet Explorer will remember your browsing history, cookies, and saved passwords. Over time, too many entries will accumulate, which will make managing your history and saved passwords difficult. If you are sure your browsing history does not contain any important data, you can delete it and start from scratch again.

Please note that there is no way to recover the deleted content from IE, so be careful. Only erase your history if you are sure enough.

1. First, launch IE from your live tile or from the app list. You can find the app easily by its traditional IE icon.
