Question Posted Wednesday July 12 2006, 1:16 am

Okay this is kind of hard to explain but you know when you search Google for certain specific things and after you are done with the search, the context in which you searched remains in the Google box's history. For example, let's say I searched one day for the terms "latest DVD releases." Then the next day I start to search for something different, but begins with the letter "L" like maybe "Little Mermaid" or something like that and as soon as I type the letter "L" the phrase "latest DVD realeases" pops up as well as some other things I searched for weeks ago and you can even scroll through and see what all you have searched for, aka the "history." Well is there any way I can delete the history for the Google box? It's annoying to see all those things pop up before I search. I don't think it has anything to do with the web page history that all computers have because I just totally cleared it out but the Google hostory things still exists. How can I deleted that or does is just go away by itself? Sorry if I didn't explain that very well.

When they pop up highlight one and press the delete button. THat will delete that one. You can also try deleting your interenet history as well as temporary files. On internet explorer go under tools and clik internet options and then from there clear history, delete temporary files. This can also reduce the risk of you getting a virus.

You cant just go to the info bar you need to go to www.google.com itself and then nothing else will pop up there. Hope I helped.

This will be an easier option for you... go to tools, internet options, and clear history.

To make sure all is gone.. you can also go to tools, internet options, settings (under temporary internet files), view files... highlight EVERYTHING on the page and delete it.

It won't hurt your computer... it's just deleting everything you have been to.

It's actually good to clean out your computer. It doesn't have as much back up and allows it to run faster.

I clean mine at least once a week.

Err... I'm not sure about the others' methods. I just highlight the text (for example, I started to type "L" and "latest DVD releases" appear, I click the down arrow so "latest DVD releases" will be highlighted) and click delete, and it's deleted. :)

The answer is straightforward(ish) haha.
You need to go to control panel and go to internet options.From here you must select delete cookies then delete files.
This should help

1. Go to the "Tools" menu.
2. Select "Internet Options" and the "Content" tab.
3. Within the "Personal information" area, select "AutoComplete."
4. Click on "Clear Forms." You can also un-check the "Forms" box in this window to keep this information from being stored in the future.
5. Click "OK" to exit.
