How to delete personal data from cortana in windows 10

We bring you a short tutorial on how to delete personal data from Cortana in Windows 10. Perhaps one of the biggest features of Windows 10 is the arrival of Cortana, the answer to Apple's Siri and Google Now.

Cortana is the digital assistant capable of helping users with many tasks. The more he learns about you, the more he understands you and will be able to help you more efficiently.

Delete personal data from Cortana

In Windows 10, you can simply say " Hey, Cortana " to activate the immediate response service to questions about weather forecasts, set reminders, search the web, find almost anything on your PC, keep track of flights, calendar, packages and much more.

But while this is a great service, there is the problem of privacy , as Cortana inevitably has to collect various information and personal data from you to learn how to help you accordingly.

Some information collected by Microsoft's digital assistant includes information about your contacts, calendar, location, internet history and bookmarks, what you say, write and much more.

Fortunately, Microsoft provides tools to disable Cortana and erase its footprint on its servers, if that's what you decide.

How to disable Cortana in Windows 10

There are two options:

1. Opening Cortana and clicking on “configuration” on the left side of the panel. You get to the Cortana option and slide the button to disable it.

1. From Windows 10 you go to "settings", then " privacy" and finally you get to "voice, handwriting and writing". There you select “stop knowing me”.

These two options will make Cortana delete everything it knows about you on these types of devices. But previously collected Cortana data will not be deleted.

Remove personalization of data from Microsoft servers

To delete any other data and personal information, go to the Bing personalization page. Make use of your account, with which you can click on the Delete button to " Delete personal information " and "Other information about Cortana and speech, handwritten input and custom keyboard typing". In both cases, confirm the deletion and with that it will be enough to delete absolutely all personal data.
