Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

I want to clear HTML content of browsing history (Previously accessed Page) from the memory. I tried the following API but it didn't work
webView2Profile2->ClearBrowsingData(COREWEBVIEW2_BROWSING_DATA_KINDS::COREWEBVIEW2_BROWSING_DATA_KINDS_ALL_DOM_STORAGE, nullptr);

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

I was able to use Processhacker.exe application to get the HTML content of a login web page. which included username and password details as well. Ideally I want to clear this content after I move from this login page.
