Microsoft Edge Removes Button to Delete Cloud Data

Venkat (via Hacker News):

Starting version 114, Microsoft Edge, no longer offers “reset sync” button that deletes data from Microsoft Servers. The button has been replaced with “Re-sync now” option. So if you’re privacy conscious, beware, there is no way to remove your Edge browsing data from Microsoft’s cloud now.

[…]

While Reset deletes sync data from Microsoft servers and re-syncs local browsing data with cloud when you turn on sync. Now, Re-sync just combines Edge’s local browsing data with sync data stored on Microsoft Servers.

However, you can use the special edge://sync-internals URL to access a hidden button to Clear Server Data.
