i can't clear the history on safari. i have looked everywhere online to find a solution, I've turned off screen time (disabling restrictions) which seems like the main culprit to get results. Please help.

Go step by step and test.


1. Update Safari, if an update is available. Update may come with bug fixes.

    And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and 

    the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
