I choose "History", then "show all history", right click on "older then 6 month", click "delete" and nothing happens. I can delete individual pages from the history, but not the entire folders. A month ago is still worked.

Click the menu button , Chosen History,and than "Clear Recent History...". Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything" . Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active. From the

details list, check Cache and Cookies 

and uncheck everything else.

But I don't want to clear all the history. It may be useful to keep for a time. I used to delete the history older then 6 month, to save the hdd space. Now, it does not work. Why?
