How to clear your internet history, and get rid of cookies ETC.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    To clear your internet history, the history of websites you have visited and the links you have clicked on, begin by opening you Internet Explorer.

  2. Step 2

    Next, along the top right of your screen you will see some icons. At the far right, click on "Tools", and look all the way to the bottom of the tab to "Internet Options" and click on that.

  3. Step 3

    Now on the small screen that just popped up, look down to browsing history, and hit "delete". Now there will be five options to click on and go down the line deleting, Files, Cookies, History, Forms, and if you want passwords. I dont usually click the passwords button, because i like my computer to remember them for me but that is entirely up to you, and click apply.

  4. Step 4

    Now click "ok" and your Internet explorer history will be deleted.
