How can I permanently delete all of my files and my internet records?

Question

My computer is like a snail. I believe deleting all of this will do a trick.

Answer 1

Depends on if it's a Mac or a PC, but it's basically the same in both. Go into your internet explorer, tools, internet options, delete files & delete cookies. This won't make your computer run faster. It could be a number of things, your hard drive could be full or close to it, you could have a virus, or your computer is just slow and nothing short from changing parts will fix it.

Answer 2

Here are 3 steps to delete your internet files, make your computer to run faster and more efficiently, and also how to clear your computer of unnecessary files.

1) To delete all of your internet records:
Tools> Internet options...

Under the Temporary Internet files section click on Delete Cookies, then OK. Click on delete files, and click the check box that says delete offline content then click OK.

Under the History section click Clear History, then click yes.

2) Also use the disk defragmenter tool :
Start> All programs> Accessories> System tools> Disk Defragmenter> Defragment.(WILL TAKE AWHILE DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH CONTENT YOU HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER SO JUST LET IT RUN AND CHILL OUT)

3) Also use the disk cleanup tool:
Start> All programs> Accessories> System tools> Disk Cleanup.
It will say something like disk clean up is determining how much space it will be able to clear....
after that click OK.

Answer 3

well, doing that wont do the trick, which you need is some more ram, if you are running win. xp 1 gig should do the trick, you should also scan your computer for viruses, adware and spyware sometimes they wont do bad things to your computer but instead will just slow it down......if all that dosent work, try a faster harddrive or proccer, if the computer is a desktop try intel core 2 duo, laptop, go with intel centrio




if you still want to delete your files, for the internet files run disk cleanup, and make sure temp. internet files is selected as for files, get a harddrive wiper progrm to delete it all

Answer 4

IE privacy keeper is a wonderful tool that will delete all of your files that are not needed-regseeker is something else that you should download-then of course disk cleanup then disk defrag your computer several times until it takes like 20 sec to run.
Good luck I hope this helps you.

Answer 5

what did u mean by delete files? if it is u meant ur document files that is in ur harddrive, then right click and click delete.
if u meant the internet temporary files, then click on the internet setting under the tools option in Internet explorer and click on the delete history and delete temporary internet files. it should get rid of all the files + history (the pages that u have been visited)

Answer 6

The easy and quick way to restore file and activity History is the System Restore feature. Since much history is saved into the Windows Registry, restoring it to a previous state will restore file and program History. Revert your computer back to the desired date and enjoy restored History. If a user has used eraser track programs such as Ad-aware or Spybot, this method will not work and you will need to access the lesser known log files that Windows keeps (the "index.dat" files). Search for "index.dat" on your computer, you will need to download Super WinSpy to view them. If a user has used advanced tools to erase usage tracks, program logs, registry history and the index.dat files such as CCleaner restore is more difficult. Try using a disk editor to directly access hard disk sector, but even this may not work if the user has chosen the "secure" delete option in CCleaner or has used programs such as BCWipe. So you need to run CCleaner to delete all traces of your online activity including the index.dat files making a restore nearly impossible - just make sure to enable the "secure" delete option. CCleaner is free and highly recommended.

Answer 7

Start, programs, system tools, disk cleanup and then select temporary internet files.

Go to IE's option menu, select the 'browsing history' button and in the new window select 'delete files' and 'delete cookies'.

Answer 8

Do not go crazy and delete everything. Use CCleaner (google it to find the website) and it should speed up your computer. Really helps. If this does not work, ur computer just might be ancient, no offense.

Answer 9

go on internet explorer and go to tools and go to interent options and it says delete cookies and stuff that should work

Answer 10

Well you can defragment it, or "free up space on your hard drive.. here is how to do it

START>CONTROL PANEL>PERFORMANCE & MAINTENCE>FREE UP SPACE ON YOUR HARD DRIVE (#3)

OR

START>CONTROL PANEL> PERFORMANCE & MAINTENECE>REARRANGE ITEMS ON YOUR HARD DISK TO MAKE PROGRAMS RUN FASTER

And of course this approch will only work if you have windows...
