What happens if you click Manage history?

Neil_Jones

Its supposed to do that...

Go into "Manage History" and you should be able to do what it says on the tin - manage the history

OK. It's a Microsoft timeline.

Have cleared and stopped history recording.

However I have failed to remove actual timeline as none of the googled solutions work.

Have never had a Microsoft account.

You don't need a Microsoft Account.

You can turn off Timeline here:

That just disables the timeline. and leaves the box there.

I want to remove the timeline and box completely.

Get a better browser?

:T of course, I didn't spot it, it's Edge!
yeah, of course not using Edge will stop the information appearing on the search box.

Firefox, Chrome and other browsers are available, all free downloads, none of which populate the Recent History.
