How to delete your Bing search history
Everything, on all devices: sign in at account.microsoft.com/privacy, open Search history and select Clear all search history.
A single search: on the history page, hover over the search and select the delete icon.
Searches made while signed out: open the history page in the same browser and select Clear all.

Stop Bing saving new searches
