Whenever I do a web search, a list of all my previous searches show up?

Question

For some reason I am unable to delete them from my computer can anyone tell me how to clear it I have done everything I can think of and nothing is working

Answer 1

Go up to TOOLS on your menu bar at the top of the webpage, click on internet options, there should be an option on there to clear history, depending on the web browser you are using. If you are using internet explorer...here is this..

As you browse the web, Internet Explorer stores information about the websites you visit and information that you're frequently asked to provide (for example, your name and address). The following is a list of the type of information that Internet Explorer stores:

Temporary Internet files

Cookies

A history of the websites you've visited

Information that you've entered into websites or the Address bar (this is referred to as saved form data and it includes things such as your name, address, and the website addresses that you've visited before)

Passwords

Temporary information stored by browser add-ons

Usually, it's helpful to have this information stored on your computer because it can improve web browsing speed or automatically provide information so you don't have to type it in over and over. You might want to delete that information if you're cleaning up your computer or are using a public computer and do not want any of your personal information to be left behind.

To delete all browsing history

In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Delete Browsing History.

Click Delete all, and then click Yes.

To delete a specific category of browsing history

In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Delete Browsing History.

Click the Delete button next to the category of information you want to delete, click Yes, and then click Close.

Notes

You should close Internet Explorer when you're done to clear cookies that are still in memory from your current browsing session. This is especially important when using a public or kiosk computer.

Deleting all browsing history does not delete your list of favorites or subscribed feeds. It only deletes temporary files, browsing history, cookies, saved form information, and saved passwords.

Answer 2

You can go to Tools and and click Browser options then click clear URL's or click Clear Search.

Then the links you went to before should be gone.

Answer 3

If you are using Internet Explorer click on Tools, Internet Options, Content, Auto Complete. Then clear forms. This will erase the search history. If you don't want things showing up again then deselect the auto complete options at the top of the page. Be sure to select ok at the bottom. Clearing the history only deletes sites visited and doesn't clear the search history in the search bar.
