Answer 1

Go to the header marked "Tools" on your Yahoo page. Click on it, then click on "delete browsing history". That will get rid of all your previously visited websites so you can start clean.

Answer 2

There are other ways, but the directions will be different depending on which browser you're using. This works no matter which browser you are using. If you want to clear the searches from the search box menu on Yahoo or Google pages, double click the search box, this will make a menu drop down with your searches, put your cursor on what you want to delete to highlight it, hit the delete button on your keyboard. If you want to delete everything just hold the delete button down until everything is deleted.

If you want to clear the search history and disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following:

Internet Explorer 6

To clear the search box history on Yahoo! and Google pages > on Internet Explorer toolbar click Tools > Internet Options > Content tab > under Personal information, click the AutoComplete box, on the AutoComplete Settings window click the Clear Forms box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history, click OK.

Internet Explorer 7

To clear the search box history on Yahoo! and Google pages > on Internet Explorer toolbar click Tools > Internet Options > on the General tab under Browsing History, click Delete > in the dialogue window that opens click Delete Forms > click Apply and OK.

On Internet Explorer 7, to stop the generation of the search box history on Yahoo! and Google pages,click Tools > Internet Options > Content tab > under AutoComplete, click Settings and uncheck the Forms box > click OK.

To clear the searches on Yahoo Toolbar:

If you have the older Yahoo! Toolbar, click the pencil icon beside the search box and click Clear Recent Searches.

If you have the the new Yahoo! Toolbar, click the Settings (avatar) button located next to the Bookmarks Button and click Clear Recent Searches.
