How to Clear out Autofill on Web Browsers

Autofill suggests previously typed-in URLs and form data and prefills Web forms for you in browsers. Every browser comes with its own autofill settings and typically asks you if you want the settings turned on during its first use. You can clear autofill without turning it off by opening your browser's Tools or Options menu and navigating to the autofill options, where you find a menu dedicated to autofill and autofill deletion. The steps vary from browser to browser, though.

Instructions

1. Go to "Start" on the Windows taskbar and enter "Internet Explorer" in the search box. Wait for IE to load and click the "Gear" icon in the top-right corner. Navigate to the Content tab and click the "Settings" button under AutoComplete. Click the "Delete AutoComplete History" button and click "OK" to delete your autocomplete data.

2. Open your Firefox browser and click the "Firefox" menu in the top-left corner. Select "Options" and go to Privacy. Click on the "History" drop-down and click on the arrow next to Details on the window that pops up. Remove checkmarks from all boxes other than Form & Search History to clear autocomplete information.

3. Open Google Chrome and click the "Wrench" icon in the top-right corner. Select "Tools" and go to Clear Browsing Data. Check off the Clear Saved Autofill Form Data box and deselect all other boxes. Click the "Clear Browsing Data" button to finish clearing your autofill.
