Using the down arrow, you can select how far back you want to go to delete browsing data from Chrome, even back to the beginning of time. Not actually the beginning of time, but back to the first day you used Chrome on the current device. You can also check or uncheck what you want to clear under “Clear the following items…”

Remember, clearing cookies will log you out of sites you’re logged into. The next time you visit those sites, you’ll have to enter your log in credentials again.

If you like bookmarks and hate keyboard shortcuts, pastes (or type) the following into Chrome’s omnibar (address bar):

chrome://settings/clearBrowserData

After you do that, click on the start in at the right edge of Chrome’s omnibar (address bar);

    Just curious but why doesn’t Ctrl+Shft+Del work? If I click on the three dots there is a clear browsing right there to click on and that is what I happen to use but I AM curious as to why the Ctrl+shft+del has not worked for quite sometime now.

      It does work. But it only works when Chrome is open and in focus.
