Hello,
I want to delete browsers histories. But this is important not to delete saved passwords.
You have one code.
Name: Delete the system temp files, internet temp files and browser cache files for all users
Can you add to this code to delete the histories while deleting the browser cookies (If not possible, can you make a new script, it will delete the history of all browsers on the computer)
(Or if this code deletes the history of browsers, it didn’t delete the history when I tried it. Could you please let me know about it)
I wish you good work.
Best regards.
Hi @hguler07,
Thanks for your request. We will update you script once it is prepared by our script developers.

Hi @hguler07,
Our script developers want to know for which browser you want to delete histories.

Hello,
Chrome and Firefox are generally used in our institution.
Kind Regards
Hello,
The script works. But it is deleting data from chrome browser of another user on Computer. Instead of logging into the system, I also ran the script as a logged-in user and still failed.
I’m taking relevant screenshots. The only problem is that the user I am currently using is deleting the data.
Best regards
Hi @hguler07,
Thanks for trying and providing output. Will share this with our script developers and update you.

Hi @hguler07,
Our script developers wants to know whether you checked with opening browser and check for history and login details ,since it doesn’t delete all the folder .The login details will be saved in that folders and also if browser is being used while running the script it cannot delete certain files and folders which is used by browser.
Only history, cookies, cache will be deleted and login details will be preserved. Please check the image attached
Kind Regards,

Hello
Yes I have tested it as you say it does not delete my history in chrome browser in any way.
I checked in Firefox the result is the same.
I am sharing the related screenshots

Hello.
I want to inform you about the latest developments.
Your support team connected to my computer at 11:00 today. They checked the problem. I normally test a script file first on my own computer. If I see it working properly, I apply it to other computers in the institution. Your developer team asked me to try this code on the test machine. When we close the Browsers on the computer next to me and test the code. Successfully cleared the history of Google Chrome and Firefox browsers. And it did not delete saved passwords as I wanted.
The code was working properly. Couldn’t run the code properly just because of possibilities that I couldn’t predict
Thank you very much for your help and attention.
I wish you healthy days.
Best regards.
