Delete Address

When I delete the history and the delete files and
cookies, some addresses don't go away. Example: I can
type in the first letter in the address field and the
urls still show. And I also see software I use or search
words I have typed.

Is there a way to delete all of that?

Rruce,
These are coming from the index.dat file in the History folder.
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Additional advice:
You might (or might not) want to turn off Autocomplete (inline) from Tools>
Options> Advanced and/or Options. Content> Autocomplete.

Hope this helps,
Don
