Have you ever copied and pasted some sensitive information on your Windows laptop and worried that it might stick around longer than intended?

The Clipboard feature on Windows 10 keeps a record of items you have recently copied to the Clipboard while using copy and paste. First introduced in Windows 10 in October 2018, Clipboard history stores a list of the 25 most recent items that you've copied to the Clipboard such as text, HTML, and images smaller than 4 MB in size.

There are several ways to clear your Clipboard history in Windows 10, depending on your preference. This article will show you how to clear your Clipboard history using the Clipboard panel and using settings or how to disable the Clipboard history if you prefer.

💡
Clearing your clipboard history will permanently delete all non-pinned items; there is no way to recover them once you've deleted them.
