How to Remove C Cookies

As you browse the Internet, certain information about your Web browsing habits is stored in the form of "cookies" on your computer's "C" drive (the main hard drive in most computers). This information is designed to help the Web page load faster the next time you visit it, but could actually end up causing you problems if an error is accidentally stored in one of these cookie files. It can be a good idea to occasionally remove the cookies from your "C" drive for just this very reason--as well as for privacy concerns if you're using a public computer. To do this, you need only to use your computer's Web browser.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open your Web browser.

    • 2

      Enter the "Options" utility in your browser. Internet Explorer users must click on "Tools" and then "Internet Options." Google Chrome users must click on "Customize and Control" and then "Options." Mozilla Firefox users must click on the "Tools" drop-down menu.

    • 3

      Locate the option that allows you to clear the cookies from your "C" drive. Internet Explorer users can find the "Delete Cookies" button in the very front of the "Options" window. Google Chrome users must click on "Under the Hood" to find "Clear Browsing Data." Mozilla Firefox users (versions 3.5 and later) must click on "Clear Recent History" from the "Tools" drop-down menu; in previous versions, click "Clear Private Data."

    • 4

      Click the button that you located in "Step 3." When asked to verify whether or not you'd like to go through with your actions, click "Yes." This will remove all of the cookies from the "C" drive of your computer.
