Clear explorer search history

 Clear explorer search history

When you search for files and folders in Explorer, it saves all of your searches. If for some reason you need to clear this list, you can do the following.

For Windows 10, everything is simple enough. In Explorer, on the Search tab (appears when you search for files), click Previous searches - Clear search log.

For Windows 7 you need to open Registry Editor (press WIN + R and run regedit) and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerWordWheelQuery.

To the right will be the parameters with the search values in encrypted form. Delete all the parameters manually.
