    are you giving your laptop to someone else?

    I'd use ccleaner ( Google it) and tick ALL the options.

    Windows is pretty good at keeping user accounts separate, so I'd use that to your advantage and I'd create a new user account and make it an administrator and then log in using that account and use it to delete your old account.

    If you have your windows install disk you could do a quick reinstall of your windows software and you would be really sure that it was wiped from system also will remove old junk from system. But Please back up your Documents Pictures Videos etc. as they will be Lost During this Process

    Works Best if You Are Running Windows 8 Pro

    1. In Search Type: Remove Windows.

    2. Just follow what it tells you to do.

    But you WILL Need your windows 8 pro setup Disk.


    Good Luck to you if you decide to use my advise please let me know if it Worked for you.

    PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT A PROFESSFIONAL COMPUTER TECH YOU FOLLOW MY ADVISE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    seems a bit extreme if they just want to remove credit card info from the browser. like using a sledge hammer to open a box of eggs! :o

    just use ccleaner to clear your browser history, cookies and temporary files etc.

    Go to Settings > History then check cookies , cache ect all the boxes avaliable then the time period you want to remove from. The past day week ect
