There are three ways to do this. 1) Click on the bar that brings up a list of items saved by auto-complete, then, hold your mouse at the top result on that list, hold delete, and it will delete the items on that list, individually. If you want to get rid of a certain cookie, then, just hover the mouse over the cookie, and press delete once. 2) If you want to erase the file history, but still keep auto-complete, then click on the tools menu on the top-right-hand side, and click the top option, Delete Browsing History. It will give you five prompts, to delete Temporary internet Files, Cookies, a list of websites you've visited, Data that you put into a form, and passwords. If you want to get rid of them all, click delete all at the bottom, if you want to get rid of one or more, but not all of them, erase them individually. If you keep auto-complete on, these will stock up again, but, for now, that will cover your footprints with fresh snow. 3) To get rid of Auto-complete, completely, then, click on the Tools menu in the top-right-hand side, and click Internet Options. Click on the Content Tab, and on the third option down, it presents you with a prompt to stop auto-complete. If you want to activate it again, then just click on it once more, but those old files will still be there, see Option 2 for information on how to delete your file history.
