can i see my history even though i deleted my history and cookies?

Answer 1

No, once you've deleted and cleared the history/cookies of websites on the internet, that's it. There's no retrievable memory. Sorry!

Answer 2

In short - probably not. There are a couple of approaches that might work, if you're lucky, and perhaps desperate enough.
First, we need to locate where the history is kept.
For Windows XP, Internet Explorer's history is kept in a per-user directory underneath "\Documents and Settings". Assuming a default locations, that would be:
c:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\History
Username" would be replaced by your login user name. So mine, for example, would be "c:\Documents and Settings\LeoN\Local Settings\History".

Note: the "History" directory is marked "invisible" by default, so it's likely that you won't find it by default. You'll need to enable viewing hidden files in Windows Explorer, or searching for Hidden Files when you perform a search. In a Command Prompt, you can simply "CD" to it, even if you don't see it.
The easiest way is to simply recover the contents of that directory, including all subdirectories, from a recent backup. If you've been making regular backups of your full system, as recommended, then you can simply use your backup utility to restore only those directories, after which you should be able to restart IE and have the old history restored.

Alternated, and with an even lower chance of success is to see if you can "undelete" an older version of the files found in that directory. If you get very lucky you might be able to undelete or recover a file that has the history you want. I do not recommend this approach, simply because the chances of it working are so very low.
Ultimately, I believe that the chances for successfully recovering this data is so low, that it is effectively zero.
I will throw out one last approach - but it's expensive, potentially time consuming, and really only for the most dire of circumstances. It is sometimes possible, using advanced data recovery techniques, for a “data recovery service” to recover this type of data. You'd be sending them your hard disk, and you'll be writing a fairly large check. There are many factors involved, and it's definitely not as easy as you might see on TV, but it can, sometimes, be done.

Answer 3

Technically, if you have not written over the part of your hard drive that contained the history files, they are still there and recoverable.

If you are attempting to conceal your history you need to use a software program to actually "wipe" the hard drive by writing a random sequence of 1's and 0's on the disk surface. Or, you could just hit the thing with a sledge hammer.

However, for practical purposes, if your history is gone, it is gone for good without some major geeking around in your hard drive.

Answer 4

Nope you can't... Once you deleted a files in your history or cookies it's impossible for you to recover it again unless you spear a back up copy anyways..

Answer 5

You can sort of. If you have something like Norton, you can look up the log file which has the addresses on it. Cookies, forget it.

Answer 6

Only with forensic searching. Very time consuming, and pretty expensive.

Answer 7

No once u deleted it...goodbye

Answer 8

what history? and mmm cookiez!
