How do you get cookies off your computer? Also my computer tells me you can't do this your cookies won't let you( or something like that)? Please help.

Answer 1

well, you have to go to the internet options which is located in the control panel. there you will see "delete cookies"
(start --> control panel --> internet options --> click delete cookies) for windows or internet explorer.

Answer 2

If you are using FireFox, try following these Instructions:
1. Go to "Tools"
2. Select "Clear Private Data...."
3. There are many Items that need to be checked in the "Clear Private Data" here. Check "Cookies" then click "Clear Private Data Now"

Or if you are using Internet Explorer, Try following these Instructions:

1. Click Tools>Internet Options....
2. Click "Delete Cookies" in the "General" tab.
3. When you are asked "Delete all cookies in the Temporary Internet Files folder?", click "OK".

I hope these help. ;-)

Answer 3

To delete your cookies using Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7.x you can go to Tools -> Internet Options, click on the 'General' tab and click on the 'Delete Cookies' button. This will delete all of your cookies, even ones that you may want to keep.

If you have Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 6.x or before you need to double click on "My Computer", double click on "C:" or whatever your system disk drive is, double click on the "Windows" folder. If no files appear, click on the "show files" link in the window. Double click on the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. You will probably now see hundreds, perhaps thousands, of files listed. These include cookies and graphics that are pre-loaded by your browser. If you go to View -> Details, you will see them listed in a more compact form with details of what they are and when they were put on your machine. You can delete files individually, or just select them all and delete them. If you delete them, remember to open your Recycle Bin and empty it or they aren't really removed from you disk and still take up disk space.

Answer 4

Questions like yours and questions like "how do I format my hard drive" and "how do I reinstall Windows" beg this question - Why do you want to do that ???

I agree there are some you might want to delete but not all cookies are bad. Most are harmless little files that make your visit to popular sites more personal in that they store your preferences for that site. For example, your banking web site might leave a cookie on your computer to identify your login with your computer as a security check, maybe requiring additional security info if you are not on your home pc.

If, of course, you want to erase your visits to questionable web sites that continue to throw up obscene pop-ups long after you've left the site, then go for it....

Good Luck
