I don't know why the code you showed is doing that but I do have a
piece of code that seems to clear IE's history.  It is small so is
easy to try.

#include <windows.h>
#include <UrlHist.h>
#include <shlguid.h>

HRESULT ClearHistory()
    {
    HRESULT result;
    IUrlHistoryStg2 *UrlHistoryStage2_ptr = NULL;

    SetLastError(0);
    CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);

    result = CoCreateInstance(
        CLSID_CUrlHistory,
        NULL,
        CLSCTX_INPROC,
        IID_IUrlHistoryStg2,
        reinterpret_cast<void**>(&UrlHistoryStage2_ptr));

    if (SUCCEEDED(result))
        {
        result = UrlHistoryStage2_ptr->ClearHistory();
        UrlHistoryStage2_ptr->Release();
        }

    CoUninitialize();
    return result;
    }
