As you use Internet Explorer to browse the internet, files will collect on your computer. Some of the files are good, but many are unecessary and can take up space on your hard drive. Cleaning up after Internet Explorer can help clean up space and protect your browsing history.
- Open Internet Explorer. (These instructions apply to IE version 7)
- Click the 'tools' menu and click 'Internet Options'.
- On the 'General' tab, in the 'Browsing History' section, click the 'Delete' button.
- In the new window, you can choose which types of files to delete. This comes down to preference if you have saved passwords, etc that you would like to keep. But you can delete all and not cause any system issues.
- Click 'Close' when the process is complete, and click 'OK' to close the Internet Options window.
