deleting internet stuff..

[insanity]

I admit, Im really crap with computers and stuff. But I got a problem :/ does anyone know how to delete like.. suggestions? like you know how when you log in to a website and you start typing then something comes up..

Cause one time I was loging into tumblr and I accidently typed my email and my password in the same box, so now when ever I go to long in my password pops up when I start writing my email address.

Soo preeety much im asking how to delete data like that your internet has stored? or is it even possible? maybe I should change my password instead?

Thanks sooo much C:

Which browser do you have?

[insanity]

Either google chrome or internet explorer

Okay. For Internet Explorer, a simple ctrl-shift-del will show you a menu. Select passwords and form data. I have no idea for Google chrome, but it is probably the same.

For chrome, click the wrench/spanner icon.

Then select settings

Click "show advanced settings" and find the "passwords and forms" section

Click "manage Autofill settings"

Then click on the x that appears at the end of the entry that you need to delete.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I won't use Chrome again willingly, however.

If you use Firefox and are willing to get dirty, you can use your favourite SQLite manager to find that entry and remove it. But since you say you are not, we'll go with the easy way.

Go to Options > Clear Recent History(this is Firefox button > History > Clear Recent History on the newer Windows versions) and check only the box "Form and Search History". If you know how long ago you typed that query, use the "Time Range" dropdown to select that, at least some of your history will remain(if you want that). Otherwise, just leave it at "Everything" and hit "Clear Now".

Ctrl + Shift + Delete works on Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. It is a much more simpler method.
