Bookmarks and history still appear after choosing settings to delete.

This is not a PERMANENT DELETION.

I WANT THESE BOOKMARKS AND HISTORY PERMANENTLY DELETED FROM MY COMPUTER AND NOT TO APPEAR WITH A STAR NEXT TO THEM WHEN I TYPE ONE LETTER.

How do I do this?

Thank you

Bookmarks should delete properly but sometimes there may be problems, but may I ask some other questions first so that I may try to give the correct advice.

  • Are you trying to delete every bookmark you have ?
    or just some of them ?
  • Has it they been ok when deleting bookmarks before
    • yes/no, not tried before
  • May I ask any particular reason you wish to delete these bookmarks ?

It would help to have similar information about History. Note also the private browsing option that prevents History etc being saved for a particular Window.
