This article covers how to delete all Brave data in the event you would want a completely fresh slate, as well as how to delete individual data types in the browser. 

Deleting all Brave data

All Brave user data can be found in a user data folder. Note that this folder differs depending on the OS installed on. When this folder is deleted from the OS and Brave is launched again and the user data folder is not detected, the browser will generate a new, fresh version of the folder where new user data will be stored.

Note that deleting data in this way will also delete any Rewards and/or Crypto wallet data contained in the browser, which may result in a loss of funds and/or access to crypto wallet assets.

For Windows users, the User Data folder can be found:

C:Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Brave Software\Brave-Browser\User Data

For macOS users, the User Data folder can be found:

~/Users/[your user name]/Library/"Application Support"/Brave Software/Brave-Browser

For Linux users, the User Data folder can be found:

~/.config/Brave-browser

Once deleted, simply relaunch Brave to have a fresh version of this folder generated.

Deleting all data on mobile devices

To delete all brave data on your Android and/or iOS device, you can simply uninstall the app. When you reinstall it, it will install a fresh version of the browser with no previous data. As with the Desktop version of the browser please note that deleting data in this way will also delete any Rewards data contained in the browser, which may result in a loss of funds and/or wallet information.

Deleting individual data types

Note that most data, such as Cache/site data, Passwords/Autofill data, Downloads History/Browsing  History, can be cleared using the Clear History option built into the browser. You can find this menu by going to Settings --> History --> Clear browsing data, click the check box next to the desired data type, then select Clear data.

However, this option is all or nothing and does not allow you to select specific entries of the desired data type. For a more selective approach, please see the options below.

Deleting bookmarks

You can delete bookmarks by going to the brave://bookmarks page (Settings --> Bookmarks). Here you can delete individual bookmarks by clicking the "more options" (three dots icon) next to the desired bookmark (or bookmark folder), then selecting Delete in the context menu:

You may also delete multiple individual entries by holding Ctrl (Command on macOS) and clicking on each entry to select it, then clicking Delete at the top of the screen as shown in the first gif below. Additionally, you may click on a bookmark, hold the Shift button, then click on another bookmark to select all entries in between the selected entries, as shown in the second gif:

Deleting passwords and autofill data

You can delete password and autofill data (Payment methods, saved Addresses) by going to brave://settings/autofill. Unlike deleting bookmarks data as shown above, individual passwords/autofill data must be deleted one item at a time. You can do this by clicking the "more options" (three dots icon) next to the desired entry and selecting Remove from the context menu:

Deleting browsing history

You can delete browsing history by going to the brave://history page (Settings --> History). You can delete an individual entry by "more options" (three dots icon) next to the desired entry, or you can delete multiple entries at once by clicking the checkbox next to the desired entries (note that you may bulk select entries by checking a box, holding the Shift key, then checking another box below the first one to select all entries in between the two), then Delete at the top of the page:

Deleting extensions

You can view a list of all installed extensions by going to your brave://extensions page. To delete an extension, simply click the Remove button on the relevant extension. Note that disabling an extension (by using the on/off toggle on the extension) does not delete it -- the extension is still installed and any data relevant to the extension remains intact.
