Clear laptop browsing history on hard drive?

The browser history must be gone everywhere so that you can't restore it.

ideas have to be quick and easy 💡

Search for CCleaner

Just reset your system. That's enough. Has already been described how this works.

And then?

Download and clean laptop ^^

And then everything is gone on the hard drive

This clears all of the cash, including the browsing history. However, you have to bear in mind that professional companies can restore such data. If you want to prevent this, you have to format the hard drive, but then EVERYTHING is gone.

Ok everything clears up on the hard drive then the whole history is deleted, because it only shows unnecessary things

And yes, it's free

Format C:

If you no longer need the stuff on the computer

To do this, you have to overwrite the data. Simply deleting them by hand or with CCleaner, or formatting the C partition does nothing, they can still be restored!

If you want to rebuild the system anyway, this is how it works:

The easiest way is with a Linux Live System. You download eg the ISO from Ubuntu & write it with Balena Etcher on a USB stick. Now you have to create a Windows installation USB stick with the Media Creation Tool (if you want Windows again). With Key Viewer 9 you can read out your Windows key again (& copy it) for security.

Connect Ubuntu USB, restart the PC, open the boot menu (see [online] manual of your mainboard / laptop model) and start with the Ubuntu USB. Start Ubuntu in live mode. Using the settings, I would still put the keyboard in German. Open the Gnome Disk program and see what your internal Windows hard drive has for a name (usually / dev / sdb, omit numbers, etc.). Then open the terminal and enter:

sudo dd if = / dev / zero of = / dev / sdb status = progress

(Of course replace / dev / sdb accordingly). Then wait for it to finish. Attention, all data on the hard disk will be lost!

Then connect the Windows USB stick, restart the PC & start with the Windows stick.
