Does anybody know how to delete info from previous searches i.e when im in google and click on the searchbar to enter in some text all of my previous searches are still there e.g. jenna jameson, Brianna Banks etc etc...also it come up on loads of websites i have no spyware or anything its probably just a setting but i cant figure it out!!

Click on the google icon of the search bar and a drop down menu appears with "clear search history" on it.

You can also untick the boxes on there too to prevent them from capturing in future.

Spot on, alot of people don't seem to know about this one and just think that clearing their history & deleting cookies will clear their tracks.

Well doing that would clear it all, untill you start going to the sites again.

That will stop remembering stuff completely so you don't have to worry about your Mother seeing what you are searching for.
