1) Yes, it is ... but is not always possible

2) Depending, how long ago you have deleted your history (& all the other tracks on your computer - history is not the only way to find out where have you been) it can be veryyyy complicated.

3) Well, it's quite difficult to get rid of your history! Maybe that only way to do & be sure about it is to get a new hard-drive and destroy the old one (burn it or something...). Anyway, there utilities that can erase your tracks. However, the will only "virtually" delete you history - that means they it can be recovered "easily"-. However, as time passes by this is getting more difficult as the deleted files will be corrupted or overwritten. Here the job is really "hard". Note that by defragmenting your disk it makes the job of persons who will try to recover your deleted history/tracks/files quite "difficult".

4) How much disk space is taken up by what ... the history? (it's limited according to your browser settings - i.e. 20 days - then it the old history would be "deleted" to leave some space to the new one).

1. Yes

2. Depends on the person and what they know

3. Windows Washer does a bleaching of the systems where its perminatly deletes only associated files affiliated with the files, and if you know your way around the command prompt or able to program through the command prompt you can perminatly delete them there. A format will also not perminatly delete all files you must add a ( /u ) when formating and setting up the drive.

4. It depends on how many files there are, How long you have had the computer, How big your hard drive is.. it could be a number of things.

They may look in your cookies if you haven't deleted them, also if you use a browser with a javascript console, it's sure to have a history of some poorly written sites.

If they run a file recovery program on the folder where the browser caches pages they will get a good ideea on what site youve been, and that's mostly it, so to answer your question

1) it can be done

2) depends on your computer knowledge

3) delete cookies, history, temporary files, the caching folder and copy random stuff inside it to permanently delete files

4) it depends on the browser you're using, some might stack up until you don't have space on your drive, others might stick to a limit and start copying over the older files.

Not true, But not totally!

This is a thorough solution, Contact me for more details.

Also, You can delete history. Many windows apps have got their own History. By the way, even deleting History doesnt mean that it is no longer available! You should incinerate them.

They pick little disk space!, don't wrry

i agree with what the advice everyone is giving but also if you just want to plain wipe it you have to zero the drive. most people aren't going to go through the hassle of trying to find what information was on the drive if they cant find it on C: but than again who knows who is lurking out there. like the above person said about the incinerator you can class that under 10 wipes.takes a rocket scientist to figure out how to get it :)

Yes, it's best to remove the hard drives from your old computers before recycling them putting several bullets through them to prevent any old information from being recovered by a potential future user.
