Clear Safari History, Cookies, Cache, and Website Data on iPhone
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Use Safari settings to clear history and website data, or remove one site's data selectively; expect sign-outs and iCloud history syncing.
Choose broad or selective cleanup
For one broken site, remove only its website data; clear all history only when you intend broader deletion.
Clear history and data
Open Settings > Apps > Safari > Clear History and Website Data, choose the profile and time range, then confirm.
Remove one site's storage
Use Safari > Advanced > Website Data to search for and delete a specific site's cookies and cache.
Expect side effects
You may be signed out and lose site preferences; iCloud Safari can clear browsing history on other signed-in devices.
