How do I delete my computer history?

How do you delete ALL browser history off your computer!!?

  • we have a computer specialist that might come in to fix our computer and i need to know how to delete ALL browsing history so he cannot see what i have been on!!! how do computer specialists view it anyways??

  • Answer:

    At the top of this page, click TOOLS. Choose the tab marked GENERAL. Under BROWSING HISTORY, choose SETTINGS. Click the button marked VIEW FILES. All of those files are what you've collected on the internet. You can delete all of them - but will have to sign in to all of your login-protected websites later. That won't completely protect you from prying eyes, but as a word of general advice, computer experts usually just fix the problem and have little interest about where you've been on the net. -Stuart

Lol. As a more helpful answerer though I've got to say something else. Depending on your browser it can be different, and even still it might not delete the whole history, or rather what's left in the address bar previously. My suggestion is to get this one program, CCleaner, which allows you to delete even the smallest bit of internet remnants off of your browser. It's a good way to speed up your comp too. If you don't want to do that, (ie Download something), and do it the hard way... For IE explorer: Search in the "Start Search" area for Internet Options, click that and under General it says "clear browsing history" For firefox, tools, options, privacy, clear recent history and remove individual cookies. For Opera: Tools, Delete Private Data, Detailed Options & Select all. For Chrome: Click the wrench, options, clear private data and select all. For Safari: Press ctrl and H or click on the gear and select history then press ctrl and 'A' together, right click on the selected items and click delete. I don't use any other browsers, like netscape or something. (Though who uses that anymore? Heh.) So I wouldn't know what to do for the any others. Hope this helps. And they view it by pressing ctrl and H together at the same time.

im guessing its porn your talking about. ok, up in the left corner somewhere, there is a button that says favorites. there is another subtab in this that says history. you should be able to right click and delete. for extra "security" right click the internet icon, go to properties, and somewhere here there is another button for history as well. hope this helps
