Removing Favorites that have somehow synchronized with my Microsoft Account

[Guest jrauman]

i've been using a Microsoft Account for over a decade, and somewhere along the way, a bunch of my Internet Explorer favorites got sync'd/copied/imported/connected to my Microsoft Account. Now everytime i install a new Win10 OS on a new computer and sign in with my Microsoft Account, i get the last 10 years of favorites in the Microsoft Edge Dev browser. I'd really like to start over from scratch, like i'm a brand new Microsoft user (both locally and online). How do i find where these "favorites" are located in my Microsoft Account and delete them forever so that i never see them again? And am i going to have to go find all the computers i have signed into lately and do something on those computers as well (to prevent the computer from copying them back to my Microsoft Account again)? I'm using Microsoft Edge Dev and i just want a fresh start. Leave the past behind, as it were. I'm wondering if i have to go to each computer i am using (there are many), login and a) delete the favorites; b) disable synchronization in IE, Edge, Edge Dev, etc.
