Why would you want to delete internet history? You may want to do so because it is a good way to keep your system organized. Why keep outdated search requests cluttering up your computer? Another reason many people want to learn how to do this is for privacy reasons. Unless you are the sole user with access to your machine, your browsing history is visible to anyone using it. The process is very simple. There are drop down menus to help you through the process.
Internet Explorer and Firefox are the two browsers currently most used. The deletion instructions are very similar. I will go through the Internet Explorer 8 instructions first. I will explain them quite fully. Then you can see the quick instructions for Firefox.

Step 4- An option box is on your screen. Choose the term "History" in this box. You will now see a check mark beside the word " History." At the bottom of this box is a " Delete" button. Click this button.
Step 5involves watching a cartoon representation of files being disposed of from your computer into a trash can. Just wait until this process is finished.
