Looking to gain privacy on your PC? So you can clear File Explorer searches in Windows

Today privacy is something we highly value and not without reason, since our data and information in general has a higher price than ever. A value that we seek to protect in our equipment when browsing but that we can also manage in the use we make on a daily basis within the system.

"

In the case of Windows, one of the examples we have of breadcrumbs and traces that we leave behind when using our PC is found in Windows File Explorer. Seeking to improve the use we make, the system stores data about our use and then displays them based on the most common searches that we carry out.We save time but expose information."

This information however can be easily removed in two ways; one manual, browsing a bit through the Windows options and another that is using a third-party application, CCleaner being one of the best known. In this case we are going to see how the process is carried out manually, since it is easier and we avoid having to install another application on our computer.

"

The first step is to access the Control Panel and for this the easiest thing is to write it in the Search box in the lower left area. This gives us access to a new window."

"

Once inside, we go to the box located in the upper right area, a small space in which we will write Explorador. "

"

In this way, we look for the option we need, which will appear in a column on the left of the screen. We see like this File Explorer Options in which we are going to _click_."

"

A new window opens and in it we go down to the end and in the section Privacy after two boxes that we can have or not activated, we see a button with the legend Delete It is about delete the history of the File Explorer "

Click the button, then accept and that's it, we no longer have any trace of the files and files that we have searched for on our computer.
