When using the Internet, it is useful to know that in any browser all the pages read are saved in the permanent memory of the computer. Browser browsing history is called "History". To ensure that endless browsing does not "clog" the computer's memory with unnecessary information, the amount of storage can also be adjusted. If necessary, for example, to free up memory on disks when it is insufficient, the journal can be deleted altogether.
Instructions
Step 1
In the Mozilla Firefox browser, you can enter the "History" through the top menu, view the pages visited for "Today", "Yesterday" and the last seven days, if necessary, delete them partially or completely by selecting and pressing the Delete keyboard key. Selecting an Internet visit (pages) is performed in the same way as selecting files in Explorer: with the Shift or Ctrl keys pressed.
Step 2
The maximum cleaning of the computer's disk memory from all "traces" of the Internet is carried out through the browser menu according to the following algorithm: "Tools" -> "Settings" -> "Privacy" -> "Clear recent history", then check the boxes next to: "History of visits and downloads”,“Forms and search history”,“Cache”and press the button“Clear now”.
Step 3
In the Internet Explorer browser, clearing the log and other information that occurs when using the browser is done through the tabs of the menu "Tools" -> "Internet Options" -> "Properties: Internet" -> "General" tab. In the "Browsing history" item, you must click "Delete", in the "Delete browsing history" window, check the boxes next to the necessary items to delete the relevant information, in addition to the "Log", these can be the items "Temporary Internet files", "Cookies", and press the "Delete" key.
Step 4
