Edit: I tried deleting History for the third time and it finally was deleted. Now, how the heck do I keep it from building up to over three thousand entries again? Edit: the history is History but the Brave cache entries keep showing up when I try to backup my data. How on Earth do I get rid of th…

How do I get to the place for clearing cache and cookies and whatever else is available? Icannot find a place to ask questions nor an email address to send to. Just downloaded this browser an hour or so ago and starting already to pull my hair. I’m using Windows 7 on a desktop. Thanks!

Use CCleaner @Lupian So much easier and it’ll cleanup your system too. download

Thank you for replying! I have CC but don’t like it. I do not wish to remove everything - want to remove individual cookies, etc, typical of the Tools in FireFox. How to open the page that does these things in Brave?

Go to Settings (top right) -> More Tools -> clear Browsing Data

Whoaaa! There is supposed to be a “Settings” area? I would have fumbled my way to the right place if I had a Settings, which I do not. There is nothing on top of this browser except the pages I have opened. Did someone slip me a copy that had been out too late on Friday night?

As mentioned, there is NOTHING above the sites I have opened. No lines, no Settings, no clothesline, nothing whatsoever. Just about an eighth of an inch, or perhaps a sixteenth, of blank space. Not a word nor an icon nor any lines.

just under the X of close window

Nada. Nothing at all present. This is becoming mighty strange!

Hmm, I’m on Win 10, maybe Win 7 is a bit different. Check Chrome, it’s on the same spot
