When you browse the web, IE stores the websites you visit and information that you provide as listed below.

• Temporary Internet files
• Cookies
• A history of the websites you've visited
• Information that you've entered into websites or the Address bar (this is referred to as saved form data and it includes things such as your name, address, and the website addresses that you've visited before)
• Passwords
• Temporary information stored by browser add-ons

these stored information can improve web browsing speed or automatically provide information so you don't have to type it in over and over. However, once for a while, you may want to clean your personal information.

To delete all browsing history

1. Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Delete Browsing History.
2. Click Delete all, and then click Yes.

To delete a specific category of browsing history

1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Delete Browsing History.
2. Click the Delete button next to the category of information you want to delete, click Yes, and then click Close.

 Notes

• You should close Internet Explorer when you're done to clear cookies that are still in memory from your current browsing session. This is especially important when using a public or kiosk computer.
• Deleting all browsing history does not delete your list of favorites or subscribed feeds. It only deletes temporary files, browsing history, cookies, saved form information, and saved passwords.
