Open the browser's own settings
On the App info page, tap Samsung Browser settings, the first row under the app name. In the browser itself, tap the menu (three lines) and Settings.

Open Personal browsing data
Scroll down and tap Personal browsing data.
On our Galaxy it sits under Security and privacy, above Sites and downloads.

Delete browsing data is at the top of the page.
On our Galaxy it was followed by Autofill forms and Secret mode settings.

Tap Delete browsing data, pick a time range at the top and tick what to delete, then tap Delete data.
On ours the range was All time; Browsing history, Cookies and site data and Cached images and files were ticked, Passwords and Autofill data were not. We did not delete anything.

Our picture shows the page that opens: Allow notifications was off, and the page said All notifications from this app are blocked. On the App info page before it, Notifications showed Blocked.

About this guide
If you cannot find Samsung Internet after the One UI 8.5 update, it has not gone: Samsung renamed it. Samsung's own listing in Google Play now names the app Samsung Browser. Phones on older One UI versions may still show the old name.
On other Galaxy phones or One UI versions, some names and positions may differ. Steps 2 and 5 are from the same phone after its One UI 9 update (Android 17). The app is still called Samsung Browser there.
Good to know
Samsung also offers Samsung Browser for Windows PCs; the browser showed us a banner about it.
