How to Delete Search History in Microsoft
Deleting the search history in Microsoft Windows means that no one will be able to discover the website links you have previously visited. Not only does this protect your privacy as you surf the Web, but it will also free up some disk space on your hard drive. Deleting your search history can take up to 10 minutes, although if it is done often, it will only take a few minutes. This task can be easily performed after each use of your computer.
