This tutorial will show you how to clear all or specific search history in Recall for your account on Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs.
Recall is an experience exclusive to Copilot+ PCs that will help you easily find and remember things you've seen using natural language. To help provide you with that "photographic" memory, you can opt in to saving snapshots of your screen periodically. You can quickly search your snapshots to find things on your Copilot+ PC. For example, you can search for content you've seen in apps, websites, images, and documents. Recall doesn't record audio or save continuous video. It also doesn’t save game video when Game Mode is active on platforms that support it.
As you type in the search box in Recall, you will see a drop menu of suggestions from your search history to select from if wanted.
You can always clear your search history in Recall on demand.
