F5 is usually used to *refresh* or *reload* a page. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/html/jawshq/JAWS-Keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere are the correct ways to delete or clear each kind of history in JAWS / a browser:\n\n---\n\n### 1. Speech History (what JAWS recently spoke)\n\n- Open the *Speech History Window* in JAWS by pressing **INSERT + Spacebar**, then **H**. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/html/jawshq/JAWS-Keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- To **clear** the speech history, press **INSERT + Spacebar**, then **SHIFT + H**. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/html/jawshq/JAWS-Keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 2. The browser\u2019s visit history (web pages you\u2019ve visited)\n\n- If you're using Edge (or Chrome, etc.), press **CTRL + H** to open the history pane where you can see what you\u2019ve visited. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-a-screen-reader-to-clear-browsing-data-in-microsoft-edge-d25a9b19-d932-43da-9379-a79d8f4916cb?utm_source=openai))  \n- From there you should be able to *delete individual entries*, or *clear all history*. In Microsoft Edge, you go to **Settings \u2192 Privacy, search, and services \u2192 Choose what to clear \u2192 Clear now**. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/use-a-screen-reader-to-clear-browsing-data-in-microsoft-edge-d25a9b19-d932-43da-9379-a79d8f4916cb?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 3. JAWS Find History (what you\u2019ve searched using JAWS Find)\n\n- To open the Find dialog, use **CTRL + F**. ([freedomscientific.com](https://www.freedomscientific.com/SurfsUp/JAWS_Find.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n- Inside that dialog, you will have the options: **Find**, **Delete**, **Clear Find History**, and **Cancel**. ([freedomscientific.com](https://www.freedomscientific.com/SurfsUp/JAWS_Find.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me **which kind of history** you meant (speech, browser pages, or search/found items), I can give you a more specific, step-by-step instruction for your setup (browser, JAWS version, etc.)."
