Can’t clear history on safari

Question

Can’t clear history on safari

I can’t clear my history on my MacBook Pro. “Clear history” is always grayed out when I try to click on it. I do have screen time turned on with allowed websites only, so I turned off screen time entirely, and I still have “clear history” grayed out. How can I clear my history? I don’t like having a months worth of it sitting there. I can’t clear history on my phone either no matter what I do, but if I can clear it on my MacBook it should clear it on my iPhone.

I’d really love some help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

If you have disabled all of screen time and if this is not a managed or provisioned Mac, then I don’t know what’s happening here.

See if a Safe Mode reboot clears this, boot into Recovery and try a repair there, and see if a different and newly-created login has the same issues with its Safari history.
