bat file to clear history

jenny smith

Could someone tell me the code for a bat file to clear history in firefox

history/clear recent history
time range everything
tick cookiescache/active login/offline website data


as in screenshot

So when I click the file it will do all that

Does incognito mode/private mode not so this already?

Won't that delete everything?

It's deleting all the files created by Firefox as you use the browser. Won't delete the browser itself if that is what you mean?

You can go into the settings of firefox and tell it to delete cookies, cache, active logins and offline web data whenever you close firefox. Preferences -> Privacy -> History -> Use customs settings for history -> clear history when firefox closes -> settings.

I'm also sure there is an add-on for firefox to do this too. A one button click to remove whatever subset you want. Using bat files is not the way to do this...

rem program example.bat
rem Just delete the lines you want to keep
@echo off
echo Start
"C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\bleachbit_console.exe" --clean firefox.cookies
"C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\bleachbit_console.exe" --clean firefox.cache
"C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\bleachbit_console.exe" --clean firefox.backup
"C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\bleachbit_console.exe" --clean firefox.crash_reports
"C:\Program Files (x86)\BleachBit\bleachbit_console.exe" --clean firefox.dom

Why does it say choose a writable folder for each drive for which to over write free space? Why only one folder? Isn't there free space potentially everywhere. Is free space the same as slack space?

You mean when you using the bleachbit GUI(graphical user interface) not the command line here right?
I think you are pressing file and then the shred and wipe options , instead
Select the options you want and Press the "Clean" button

BleachBit videos are tutorials which teach you how to use the software while demonstrating its unique features.

I am wary of trusting a free program to clear free space etc. Paragon Hard Disk Manager has such a function and it is not free

I would like to know how to use the bat file properly. I have extension to delete cookies but want to learn how to do it my self

Bleachbit is very widely used program, hillary clinton used it to delete her mails.

Here the bat file
rename and change the .txt to .bat
Then run it

Not everyone wants to make money - the author of BleachBit has licensed it as GNU and seems to like the fact that it can delete things so the NSA/FBI can't recover them.
