How to clear your browser's history
When you visit a Web site, your browser automatically saves the Web site address, or URL, and saves it on your hard drive in a history file or folder. This file/folder allows you to view a list of previously visited Web pages, without having to type the address again.
The size of your history file/folder will grow as you browse until it meets the limit set by your browser. When this happens, your browser will delete some URLs, starting with the oldest. Even though your browser will do this automatically, clearing your history manually on occasion may help speed up your system. If your browser hangs or freezes frequently, it may help to clear your browser's history.
To clear the browser's history:
- Choose Internet Options... from the Tools menu.
- Select the General tab.
- Locate the History section, click the Clear History button, and choose OK when prompted.
- Click the OK button at the bottom of the Internet Options window.
- Close and re-start your browser.
