Deleting stored History in IE6

How can I delete my viewing history in IE?

When I go to, for example, google and start to enter a search name, I am
given a dropdown box with EVERY search item that I have ever used. How can I
delete this stored information?

Thanks

For individual form autocompletes, you will have to highlight (select it) in
the dropdown list and then press the "Delete" button.

Or...

"How to use the AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer 5 and 6".
1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Content tab.
3. Click AutoComplete.
4. Click the appropriate AutoComplete check boxes, or click Clear Forms or
Clear Passwords to clear all saved items from the appropriate AutoComplete
history.
5. Click OK, and then click OK.
