Post your comments for Selectively Delete Some of Your Browsing History here

I prefer to just set my settings to erase everything so that way no one can get my info. I.E. Bank account and personal email accounts that you may have. If you save the websites in FIreFox as a Bookmark then it will still be there, but no user names and or passwords are saved, as well as forms that you may have saved. This prevents anyone who may have access to your computer from every knowing your private information.

You delete selective history in IE6 the same way as in Firefox. Right-click the item in the History bar and select Delete.

The proceedure in IE7 is as follows: History, on the Explorer Bar, must be visible. Make it visible by clicking View, then Explorer Bar, then History (keyboard shortcut: CtrlShiftH). Once History is visible, right click on the item and click on delete. To make it easier to find the site history you want to delte, the History listing can be sorted by date, site, etc. by clicking on the drop-down History tab.

Hi Geeko, and welcome to PCWorld Community.


Thanks for the good tip. It worked a little different for me because I have Vista.

This is what I did:

Clicked on Tools, which brought a menu down for me. Next, I clicked on Toolbar, and that's where I found History. I clicked on it, and it opened up all of the places where I've been surfing today. The only drawback is that you have to individually right-click on each entry there to delete it.

Great Googa Mooga! I didn't know everything got recorded there, even how many times I've gone/checked my email! It would be great to have a utility that would delete all your entries in your browsing History, all at once.

You can delete the entire browsing history by clicking "Tools", and in Internet Explorer 7 that I have with Vista, the very first option listed is "Delete Browsing History". Click on it, and you have the choice of deleting Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, History, Form Data, Passwords, or all of the above. Or click on Tools, then Internet Options, and under the General tab, there's a place to delete all Browsing History as well.
