How to Remove History from a Website Textbox or Browser.

Have you ever wanted to remove something you searched for from the search box's history list? You know what I mean, every time you search or enter data in a textbox inside your web browser, the data is saved to a history file. There is an easy way to remove these unwanted entries.

To remove a textbox history data entry:

1. Expand the text box history list that you want to clean up. If the textbox is in a webpage, double-click to expand the history list. If the textbox is in your browser, you can drop down the list by clicking the down arrow at the end of the address bar.

2. Select a entry that you want to remove by hovering over it with the mouse curser.

3. To remove the data from a textbox history list, press and hold down the shift key.

4. Then, one time, press the delete key on your keyboard. One list item will be deleted (the one that is selected will be removed). To clear the whole list, hold down the delete key until the list is empty.
