How to Check the Internet History After it Is Deleted

Check the Internet history to make sure it has been deleted.

Sometimes it is necessary to delete your Web browser's history to secure your personal information and keep your privacy safe. After deleting the history, some old cached Web files may still linger. You can check if there are any leftover Web pages in the Internet history by opening Internet Explorer and accessing the "Internet Options."

Instructions

1. Open the Internet Explorer Web browser.

2. Go to the top of the screen and click on "Tools" and select "Internet Options."

3. Click the "General" tab and then go to the "Browsing History" section.

4. Click on "Settings" and select "View Files." This will show you any saved Web pages, including images, cookies, and cached pages.
