Auto-Fill Boxes: How do I get rid of wrong information?

Question

Many auto-fill boxes have wrong information, i.e. typos, wrong zip code, etc. How do I reset these boxes?

Answer 1

Hello, it depends on what browser you are using. If you are using the new Internet Explorer 7 this is how you delete the auto-fill information currently stored:

Click on your Tools Menu, select Internet Options. Then select 'Delete' in the Browsing History section. It will then give you the option to delete Forms, Passwords, Cookies, History, etc.

Click on 'Delete forms...' and you should be good to go! If you would like to set it so it does NOT save your form information at all you can select the Content tab and click on the 'Settings' button under AutoComplete.

If you are using an older version of Internet Explorer it should be under Tools menu, select 'Internet Options'. Then select the Content tab. Then you should be able to clear out this stored information.

If you are using Mozilla FireFox select the Tools Menu, select 'Options...' and then click on the Privacy Icon/Tab.

Then select the Saved Forms tab and click on the 'Clear Saved Form Data Now'

This is the best way change around any wrong content for your forms.
