Computers are annoying as they like to save everything that you don't need and crash before saving what you do need. All of the things mentioned in the title are a waste of space and should be scrubbed regularly.
Though I suspect that most people seeking advice on how to delete these types of files are not into saving disk space. They may well have been looking at things their granny would not like to see. For example that red hot ruby ring for her birthday. Moving on swiftly…
1. Tools Tab
Open up your browser and find the bar showing the open tabs. At the far right of this bar you will see a drop down menu called "tools" click on it and select "delete browsing history" from the list.
2. Delete
Read through the text beside the buttons and decide which you want to delete. If you want to delete all of them there is a button at the bottom to do this. Finally, click the yes button and wait for the green bar to fill and you're done.
3. Check they are gone
Ocassionally, or at least for me, it does not work so press Control+H to ensure it has worked.
That was easy now, wasn't it?
