I think your internet will always save your history but with Internet Explorer you can go to Tools at the very top of the web page, then Internet Options then at the bottom of that screen it says "clear history"
With Firefox you go to Tools, Options, Privacy.
hope that helps.

you can also go to internet properties (right click the internet explorer icon on your desktop or go to tools then internet options). Under the general category on the lower part (history section) specify the date to keep pages in history as zero so that nothing is saved on your internet and also click clear history.

I don't want to ask why, but you can go to "history" on internet (little watch thing on top in internet explorer) and right click, and select delete on whatever you want deleted. then you go to the recycle bin and delete the contents of that.

in case you pass via administration Panel into internet recommendations, or despite that's referred to as on your device and head for Delete surfing history, you may desire to be certain a tick-container for deleting history each time that's close down; I anticipate somebody has ticked it, purely untick it and rancid you pass.
