If you happen to use personal computer, you do not have to worry about all these stored information. But if you are using a shared one, you probably would not like anyone else to see or know about the sites you have visited. In you wish to do not compromise your privacy; you should delete ‘History records’ completely from the computer. For this you need to delete Cache Folder, History, Cookies and ‘Windows registry’.
Every browser stores the images, websites, urls etc in your hard disk somewhere in the temporary folders. This folder is generally called ‘Internet cache’ and is located in the ‘Temporary Internet Files’ folder under your c:\Windows folder. Either delete from this folder or delete it from your browser. Go to Tools-> Internet Options. Under the General tab click ‘Delete Files’ button.

To delete typed website URLs, go to Tools-> Internet Options in the browser. Select the ‘General’ tab and click on ‘Clear History’ button. In the confirmation dialog box select ‘OK’. This will clear your history.
Some information about website is stored in your computer’s hard disk in form of cookies. To delete cookies, open your browser; go to Tools->Internet Options. And click on ‘Delete Cookies’ button.

The windows registry will open. Now click on ‘Edit->find’ and type ‘URL History’. In the right hand side you will see a list of website addresses that you visited.
