Windows computer and you share it with your dad and you were wondering since hes the admin if he can see when you delete your browsing history?
Depends on your dad. I could if I were him. No but it might be fishy if a few days are missing, what you might try is get a flash drive and install opera or firefox onto that flash drive so only you have access to it.

Does wiping out your computer delete all browsing history or Cache?
I think that you are asking if using a file wiping program will delete your browsing history and cache. If that is not your question, please provide more information. A file wiping program, used correctly, will remove your history and cache. You would need to identify the history and cache directories. This will vary on which browser(s) you are using. If you are really paranoid you could wipe out the entire drive. That will erase your history and cache and EVERYTHING ELSE. You would then have to reinstall your operating system and applications. If your data was not backed up, it will be gone forever. If you are just trying to free up some space, do not use a wipe program. All the browsers I am familiar with have settings to clear out history and cache.

Yes they are. The incognito or private browsing modes only stops your browser history (CTRL + H) from listing your history. The sites still leave small cyber traces on your Hard Drive.
Will erasing browser history delete the records from the internet service providers?
It does not because when I go into private browsing, which doesn't keep my history (almost the same thing as deleting my history), on my schools computer, it tells me that the sites I go to can still be tracked by their Internet Service Provider. Deleting your browser history only deletes it on your local hard drive where your browser resides. Your ISP is totally independent from your machine and what you do there has no effect on what is stored on the drives that your ISP has in their servers. To put it another way - when you delete your browser history, it doesn't change the information on your neighbor's computer - just yours.

How do you delete the history on internet explorer?
In order to delete your history, you need to go to Internet Options. This can be found on the Command Bar, which is found on the IE toolbar, under the Tools tab. Once you click on the Tools tab, go down to Internet Options, and click on it. This will open the Internet Options area. On the General tab (the first one you see) go down until you see Browsing History. Make sure the "delete browsing history on exit"* box isn't checked. You will see two options; one is delete, the other is Settings. Click on the delete button (don't worry, it won't just automatically delete anything). Once you click on the Delete button, another box will open. This area gives you several options of files that can be deleted. If the only thing that you want to delete is your History, you can do so. However, temporary Internet files, and cookies can take up alot of space on your hard drive as well. You can safely delete Temporary Internet Files, and Cookies that are on your hard drive, without losing the speed in which your favorite websites are loaded. This is simple to do. Go to the top of the page, and make sure that the box next to: Preserve Favorites Websites...is checked. The box next to InPrivate Data Filtering should always be checked. Make sure that you have checked, or unchecked all of the boxes next to the files that you want deleted. Then go to the bottom of the page, and click Delete. If this is the first time that you have deleted these files, it will most likely take a long while for this process to complete. Enjoy your lighter hard drive, and IE! (There is another way in which to access the Internet Options files. If you open your Control Panel, you will see Internet Options listed there as well). * If you decide that you want your Browsing History deleted every time that you exit Internet Explorer, you can check that box once you have finished deleting your History.
