To clear your history of websites, go to the tools toolbar, options, and on the 'general' page, click clear history. That should clear your website history. You can also clear your cookies, which are just files that show which sites you've been to. This is on the same 'general' page, and it should be right above the delete history. To delete your search history in google, yahoo, etc., just go down in your list of items you have searched and hold your mouse over one item until it is highlighted as blue. Then, without taking your mouse away, press your delete button! Don't press your backspace button as that is a shortcut for going back. It's as simple as that! Good luck!

Head to the offending page (e.g. yahoo.com). Double click in the search box, move your mouse over the first item in the box, press and hold delete. It may take a few seconds, but it will start deleting all of your entries.

It depends on which browser you use:\nFirefox: Tools > Options > Privacy > Saved Forms > uncheck "remember forms"\nInternet Explorer: not sure, probably should be an option under Tools. \n\nAlso, you can delete individual search items by holding down Shift while hitting delete.  \n\nHope this helps!  Good luck!

Hello,\n\nThere are several ways.  You can just click inside the search box, push the down arrow so it will highlight the search term, then hit delete.  There are also some commerical programs that do stuff like that.  You might want to try adaware or spybot for free... www.pcworld.com  or you can buy spysweeper which is a great program www.webroot.com

In the search toolbar you can type in the first few letters of what the search word(s) were and it will pop up in the drop down, put the cursor on there with the mouse and hit delete.  You can delete everything you have searched for.

Deleting Previous Searches:\n\n1. Click in the form's box, and press the down-arrow key to view the previous entries. \n\n2. Keep pressing the down-arrow key until you've highlighted the bothersome entry. \n\n3. Press the Del key to delete the entry. \n\npaaatches --Be sure to use your keyboard for this, as your mouse won't do the trick.

all depends what internet browser you are using....\n\nbut for a vague direction I would say go to "tools" then "options" and then check history or something along those terms... should find a nice "clear all" button that will clean things up for you

well in internet explorer.  just got to the tools tab at the top.  then to internet options >  then go to Content tab >  then Auto complete button near the bottom.  From there you should have 3 options.  just uncheck web addresses and then that should take care of it.  Also i would clear the history under the general tab. hope that helps.
