Team,
Anyone developed a process to delete Browser history, cache and cookies?
Currently we are performing the activity manually to speed up browser. TIA.

Hi @naga007 ,
In order to achieve this, you can create a batch file by opening Notepad application and entering the below code:
:: Close Chrome if it's running
taskkill /F /IM chrome.exe >nul 2>&1
:: Delete browsing data
rd /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache"
rd /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies"
rd /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History"
:: Close Edge if it's running
taskkill /F /IM msedge.exe >nul 2>&1
:: Delete browsing data
rd /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cache"
rd /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cookies"
rd /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\History"
Save this file as a .bat file as in my case, I have saved it as ClearBrowserData.bat:
Now, in the Process Studio, you can use the Start Process action from Function for Utility - Environment - 10.1.1 business object and pass the batch file path as the parameter value for Application input argument:
Once you run this flow, it should close both Chrome and Edge browsers and should also delete caches, cookies and history.
