Answer 1

Go to Internet Options ==> Select Content Tab ==> Click Auto Complete Button ==> Click Clear Forms

This will clear it all... :)

Answer 2

Try this for immediate results:

tools / internet options / content / autocomplete / untick searches / clear forms

if you have the "yahoo toolbar," click the pencil icon, click options, untick both "enable autocomplete" and "save searches"


Then get one of these free programs ...

CleanCache @ http://www.buttuglysoftware.com/

or

Free Internet Eraser @ http://www.privacyeraser.com/free-internet-eraser.htm

They both work great but CleanCache is more powerful.

Answer 3

under internet explorer, on the top bar, go to
tools > Internet Options... > General (tab on top of the new pop up window) > Temp Internet files (2nd choice) > click "delete cookies"

and then under the temp Internet files is the History > click "clear history"

That should be able to delete most traces of pron search keywords/websites.

Answer 4

If you click in the box, it should come up with a list of things that you have searched for. If you highlight the first one on the list and then hit delete it should start deleting them and just keep doing that until they are gone. I hope this helps!
