Windows Explorer (Windows 7) and File Explorer (Windows 8 and 10) allow you to save your common searches so you don't need to continually type them into your system. If you no longer have a need to keep one of your saved searches, you can easily delete them. All you need to do is right-click the search in the Searches folder and select Delete from the Context menu. (See Figure 1.)
