No — it deliberately leaves your browser's sign-ins alone. A browser's profile folder can look like an easy target because it's large and partly cache, but moving or clearing it wholesale would take your cookies, saved sign-ins, history and open sessions with it. Storage Studio recognises those folders by what's inside them, not by which browser made them, and won't offer to move them.

If you want to clear your history or cookies, use the browser's own settings — that's the safest place, because the browser knows what it can rebuild.

Does Storage Studio clear browser history and privacy traces like some cleaners do?

\n

Short answer: No. Storage Studio deliberately won't move or clear the folders that keep you signed in to your browser. Clear history and cookies from the browser's own settings.

\n

No — it deliberately leaves your browser's sign-ins alone. A browser's profile folder can look like an easy target because it's large and partly cache, but moving or clearing it wholesale would take your cookies, saved sign-ins, history and open sessions with it. Storage Studio recognises those folders by what's inside them, not by which browser made them, and won't offer to move them.

\n

If you want to clear your history or cookies, use the browser's own settings — that's the safest place, because the browser knows what it can rebuild.

\n

More generally, Storage Studio avoids anything that holds settings or sign-ins and concentrates on space that can safely move or be rebuilt. See Privacy & safety.
