The first step is to open up your preferred web browser. Whether you’re using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or any other browser, the steps are quite similar for all of them.
Step 2: Access the browsing history

- Click on these dots or the gear icon to open the browser’s menu.
- From the menu, locate and select the “History” option. This will open a new tab or window displaying your browsing history.
Step 3: Locate the recently closed tabs
Now that you have accessed your browsing history, you’ll be able to locate the recently closed tabs. Here’s what you need to do:

Step 4: Delete the recently closed tabs
Finally, it’s time to delete those recently closed tabs. Follow these simple instructions:
- Hover your cursor over the tab that you want to permanently delete.
- Right-click on the tab to open a context menu.
- In the context menu, choose the “Delete” or “Close” option to remove the tab from your browsing history.
You can repeat these steps for each tab you want to delete from your recently closed list.
