Hi all! When using the Yandex browser, a large number of users save any pages as bookmarks in order to go to them later.
But often in the "Bookmarks" section, a huge number of unnecessary pages accumulate, which simply "gather dust" and take up disk space. So, let's figure out how to get rid of excess trash in the "Bookmarks" section?
In total, we managed to dig up three ways, thanks to which you can clear the bookmarks section. Each of them is applicable and useful in its own way, so choose for yourself which one you will use. So let's get started already.
Method 1 – Using the Bookmark Manager
Using this method, you can delete individual pages, as well as all that are contained in the saved links section.
Please note that if you have enabled browser synchronization on your computer and, for example, on your phone, then all saved links will be deleted on the browsers of both devices. Therefore, in the case when you need to leave them, for example, on the phone, synchronization should be deactivated.
So, to clear the bookmarks section, do the following:
1) Go to the browser menu by clicking on the three horizontal bars, then point to the “Bookmarks” item and from here go to the “Bookmark Manager” section.
2) After that, you will be taken to a section where all your saved pages will be displayed. To our regret, the browser interface lacks one button with which you can erase all bookmarks at once.
Therefore, you will need to click on the unwanted bookmark with the left mouse button, and then press the “Del” button on the keyboard.
3) So, after that, the link will disappear from the bookmarks bar forever. You should also know that in the case when you accidentally deleted the desired link from the "Bookmarks" section, then you can return it back in only one way - find the desired site again and add it to the bookmarks section.
Similarly, you need to remove all existing links.
Method 2 - Remove the active page from the Bookmarks section
This method cannot be called fast. It is recommended to use it only when you already have a site that has been added to the "Bookmarks" section, and it needs to be urgently removed from there. To do this, we do the following:
1) If the site is still not open, but is in the history of recent visits, just go to it through this section if you have not already done so.
2) After that, on the right side of the address bar, you can see an icon that is highlighted in yellow. We just need to click on it.
3) In the section that appears, specify the "Delete" option.
Method 3 - Account Deletion
If you did not know, then all your data that you have ever entered in the browser (logins, passwords, numbers bank cards and so on) be contained on the computer in just one directory. Actually, this method implies a complete cleaning of it, whereby your web browser will become completely “new”.
Significant advantage this method is that you do not have to click on the link several times, and then on the “Del” key, but with just a few actions you can clear the entire history of saved links.
1) Launch the browser, click on the three horizontal bars, and then switch to the "Settings" section.
2) From this section, go to the "User Profiles" tab. After we find and click on the "Delete profile" button.
3) After that, a window will pop up in which you need to confirm your intentions.
