How to Delete History and Cookies in Windows Vista

Sometimes when your computer is running slow it means that you need to clean out the history, files, and unnecessary cookies in Internet Explorer. In previous versions of Windows you had to go through the “Options” window and click several buttons. With Windows Vista it has been simplified.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Open Internet Explorer and click on “Tools” in the toolbar.
2. Click on the first option, which is labeled “Delete Browser History.” This will open the “Delete Browser History” window.
3. There should be five different items you can delete in this section: Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, History, Form Data and Passwords. At this point you can delete them individually, but if you want to clear everything simply click the button at the bottom marked “Delete All.”
4. This will open another box asking you if you are sure that you want to actually delete all information. Before clicking on “OK,” you can also consider checking the box beside the statement that reads “Also delete files and settings stored by add-ons.” Once you have decided to check the box or not, click “OK” to delete all of the items from the browser.
