Clearing Browser searches, cache, etc

[john185]

I have tried to clear the searches, cache, history, etc. but I am having no joy.  I have been going into the Browser settings to do this.  It appears to accept the request but I can still move the Browser backwards and find the same history, etc.  And when I go back into Settings, the changes I made have been reset.

What's the secret?

close your browser and reopen it.  close all the open windows.

if go to setting > applications > manage applications it lists all the apps on your phone...if you click on the brower u will see the clear cache button...click and clear...  (you can also clear all the settings)

this help?

I think this worked.  <g>  I did what you suggested, but I also shut down the phone completely afterwards, which I hadn't done before.  Either way, I believe the history and cache are gone!   (I think)

I did the same thing and it worked! Nice. I wasn't aware of that option before. Thank you.

"go to setting > applications > manage applications it lists all the apps on your phone."

browser isn't listed in my apps.

The manage applications view usually defaults to the "downloaded" list.

Settings > applications > manage applications > all tab

This ^^^ will list all of your applications.

Browser might be listed as Internet in some devices.
