How can i delete my livejournal permanently?

How can I permanently delete websites I have visited so there is no trace of them?

  • I want to permanently delete websites that I visited and make it so that nobody can ever come back and see that I was on the website or that something came from me. The thing is, I sent a text message to someone from my laptop for one of my friends. Her husband was cheating on her and she wanted to send an anonymous text to the girl that he was married because she felt as if he hadnt revealed that he was married and she probably didn't know. My husband told me not to get involved in their situation, but having been cheated on before, I felt compelled to do it. I don't want him to snoop on my computer to find that I did indeed meddle, seing as to how her husband and my husband are friends. I don't want him to tell my husband that something is up and my husband turn to me to get answers. I would much rather tell a "small lie", (what is a small lie anyway) and take this little secret with me forever. Computer guru's, please weigh in.

  • Answer:

    once you delete the files from the browser going into internet options .. go to search type in part of the website you went into once the search is completed scroll down to change the setting i think it says advance settings or something like that anyways click on it and it will give you the option to search on hidden files if there any files in the pc pertaining to those you want to delete it will list them once that is done you delete the files from the list that was generated by the search.. AND THAT is it your files has been permanently deleted from your computer. and yes deleted files go to the internet provider but they only save them for 30 days after that they are permanently loss there is no way of retrieving them . good luck

I'm afraid that it's impossible to do this. The data goes to the Internet provider and stays there forever. There is no way to get rid of it permanently.

Best thing you can do other than replacing your Hard disk drive is to FORMAT it. Nobody will ever know you were in a bad website, thats for sure!!

Depends on who's looking for the files. For most snoops, you can just delete your browser's history. If your husband is a computer person, then often there are other records of activity. If you husband is a computer expert, and paranoid, he may actually install a keylogger on your system - and if that's the case, everything that is typed is recorded in a file somewhere, depending on the keylogger. (some devices are built into keyboards, and store the data on a small memory card.) If your husband is a computer security professional, or in law enforcement, it would be possible for him to get the records off the web server, or even deleted files off your hard disk drive. But for most purposes, simply deleting your history is good enough.

best way to smash the hard drive

i think i am having an early mid-life crisis

I don't know if this is permanent, but this is what i do: Click on Tools" below the address bar. And click "Delete Browsing History". Then, all the sites you've visited shown on History will be deleted.

go to the library, or an airport where you can borrow a computer

You don't need to reformat your hard drive. Unless he is looking for files, you only need to do a quick fix. such as go into your web browser and delete you history and all your cookies. This will clear everything immediately. If you are using Internet Explorer go to : Tools - Internet Options - Under the General Tab - go to Browsing History and hit delete. If you have Vista, you'll need to delete the browser history from your My Computer file as well.

hehe! Meddling woman! You can't get away from it now...no matter what it is saved somewhere out there far from your PC. Why even worry about it? Will your hubby be snooping around for such info? My guess is not...just do what someone said above me...tools, options and delete all! That will delete any websites visited until new ones are visited again. Next time, don't butt in!

The best thing to do is to tell your husband what happened, and tell her to next time deal with her own problems between her and her husband, and not involve you. If she suspects him cheating, she should leave him and not involve you, the guy down the street, her dog groomer, the president, etc. This will come back to haunt you, so you may as well fess up. The other honey might respond to your text or whatever it was you did, and your husband could well find out. Keeping secrets like that is not a good way of keeping a marriage together. You want to be an example of a GOOD marriage, right? Then fess up.
