This article will show you how to Delete Locations from AccuWeather. One of the most popular weather apps is the AccuWeather app. One of the features that is helpful is that it can show the weather in different places. We always pay attention to the weather in our hometown as well as the weather in our area.
If you travel a lot, you may have a long list of cities. To get rid of your AccuWeather city list, use the interface for managing lists to delete a few items. It works with the operating systems for iOS, Android, and Windows. The app tells you what the day’s and week’s weather will be like in your area.
So, it’s a useful tool for figuring out if you need to bring an umbrella. It’s helpful to know the weather minute by minute. Some phone users, though, have noticed that the app uses a lot of battery power. So, they decide to get rid of it so that the battery will last longer. Some users also question how accurate the app is and say that it often doesn’t give a real forecast.
How to Delete Locations from AccuWeather on Desktop Website
You can’t remove the unwanted locations by hand because this is done automatically. You can search for the places that might be important to you and then hide them from the drop-down menu.
If you want to get rid of all of them, you’ll need to clear the cookies from your browser. This can be done in two ways. You can either delete all of the cookies from the website or just the ones from AccuWeather. Getting rid of cookies selectively is pretty much the same in all browsers. This is how you do it in Google Chrome:
- Open the Chrome browser on your computer.
- Click the “More” button in the top right corner. It’s the three vertical dots icon.
- Click “Settings”.
- In the left-side menu, click “Privacy and security”.
- In the main portion of the screen click “Site Settings”.
- Click “Cookies and site data”.
- Click “See all cookies and site data”.
- In the top right corner you’ll see the search field. Click it and enter “accuweather”.
- The list of results will appear for AccuWeather. To clear only these cookies, click the trash can icon next to each entry associated with the website.
- Once it’s done, close the “Settings” browser tab and all the recent locations you looked for will be gone from the AccuWeather website.
How to Delete Locations from AccuWeather on Mobile devices
Even though the content is the same as on the desktop site, the mobile version only shows the last three places you searched for. You can find them at the top of the page, right below where you can search the site. Every time you do a search, these places will change, and you’ll only see the last three.
To get rid of the places you’ve been recently, you’ll also need to delete the cookies from your mobile browser. If you don’t want to mess with cookies from other sites, you can just delete AccuWeather’s. Again, here’s an example of how this works on the mobile version of the Google Chrome browser, which is a bit different from the desktop version.
- Open www.accuweather.com in the Chrome browser on your mobile device.
- Tap the three dots menu in the top right corner.
- Tap “Settings”.
- Scroll down to the “Advanced” section.
- Tap “Site settings”.
- Tap “Cookies”.
- Tap “ADD SITE EXCEPTION”.
- Enter www.accuweather.com
- Tap “Add”.
- AccuWeather address will now show up in the “Blocked” section. Tap the AccuWeather entry.
- Now tap the “Clear & reset” button.
- Confirm by tapping “Clear & reset”.
- This action will both remove the AccuWeather website from the “Blocked” list and will delete all the related cookies.
- Tap the “Back” button in the top left corner several times until you return to AccuWeather website.
- Refresh the website and you’ll see that the locations based on your recent searches are gone.
