Here you have the various options to set and delete the activity history.
Save my activity history on this device
With this option you can control whether all activities that you do are saved in the Windows Timeline. This includes, for example, the websites visited and data from Windows 10 apps and services. Generally the option is activated. If you no longer want to automatically save these activities in the timeline in the future, you should deactivate this option.
Send my activity history to Microsoft
This option is deactivated in our example and thus prevents the Windows activities from being sent to Microsoft. We would recommend that you generally leave this option deactivated.
View activity from these accounts
If you have connected your Windows 10 with a Microsoft account, the connected Microsoft accounts are displayed here. You can activate or deactivate the activities on the timeline for each account individually.

Only after confirming ” OK ” will all collected activity data be deleted .
