Hi,

My dad wanted to delete all the past searches records he made in google so that drop down with all the past searches will not show up again so I cleaned all cookies and temporary files , history which basically should have cleaned it but when we try and check if the past searches are still showing - we definitely find them there. this is the first time I ran into something like this. I even ran tuneup utilities but that didnt help either. any suggestions?

Hi Sarit,

Have you checked this in IE ?
<Tools/Internet Options/Content/AutoComplete/Clear Forms>

You can also clear the "Forms" checkbox to prevent the program from trying to recall your form selections, including typed URLs for you in the future.

Also, there is a freeware utility that can erase all tracks, handy if you want to sell your computer to other persons without reformatting it:

LOL I cant believe I forgot about the AutoComplete feature but thanks for reminding me about it Chris and I just tried it and it worked!

Thanks again and have a great weekend!
