Depends on what you mean by "history on your computer". Here are some ways to delete some of the stuff your computer stores about what you do on it.
If you use firefox as your web browser ctrl+shift+delete deletes any private data your browser is storing about what websites you visit. There is a similar ability with IE.
You should also make sure that there is not any spy ware on your computer collecting information. Adaware from lavasoft should kill most of it.
Finally files that you delete on your hard drive are not really gone. They are just marked as rewritable. So until they get written over witch is hard to tell special software can still read the files you delete from your computer. to wipe out theese 'invisible' files your can defragment your hard drive which should clear it or there is some software that will rewrite over your whole drive however to make sure everything is gone.

You are recommended to use a history cleaner to do this, such as FREE CCleaner.
Also many other system utilities have this cleaning history function built in.
