Firefox In-Private session saves download history, how to delete?

more options

In-Private sessions are supposed to remain private. I opened Adobe Reader and under History is my history of In-Private sessions. They are greyed out more than .pdf files, and cannot be directly deleted. Firefox History shows nothing. Any advise on how to delete In-Private data? It seems to store somewhere. Firefox 46.0.1; Adobe Acrobat Reader

Self Answered... Android 4.4.2 Settings (General Tab) Storage Cached Data Tap to Clear.

Problem was not an application issue, although In-Private is not as private as I thought. I used several different cache clearing tools, but none cleared the Download Manager data. Thanks. JG
