App to completely clear all History (Recent Items and Folders)

It easy to clear the Recent Items list in the Apple Menu and also the Recent Folders in the Finder.
What is a good Snow Leopard app that will do both and all the clean-up for you, totally erase history on all fronts?
Thanks.

I don't see as you would need an app for that. Just go to Recent Items and select Clear Menu. For folders do the same, Go>Recent Folders>Clear Menu. How simple is that?
I prefer one that will completely vanish all footprints on all fronts in one stroke including Internet history, Open Recent items list in apps and every possible traces of recent activities using only one client.

Firefox will not display anything from Yahoo! correctly anymore. I get a skeleton text structure whenever I attempt to load any yahoo-based pages. However, they load in Opera fine. I've cleared all history from FF, with no results.

Update March 7, 2011:
I've managed to get it to work via fiddling with Adblock's settings and what I had it set to block for me.
It will load any other page I go to fine, but Yahoo! is a no-go. I've tried clearing all history, closing FF and then restarting it, but that didn't work. I attempted to open Yahoo! in my backup Opera browser, and it worked fine. This is a little annoying.

Bring it to an Apple store or AASP.

It's not clear what you want to remove.
If you intend Recent Items under the Apple menu, you can safely remove what's in there by choosing Clear Menu
You can do the same with Recent Folders in Go menu
That's only a history of the items and folders you used. You don't delete anything.

Can I Clear all history from command line?

Is there a way to simulate clearing all history
Tools -> Clear Recent History -> Everything
from the command line in Windows 7?
I'm writing test automation and this would come in handy when running my tests

Cookies repopulate after use Safari Preferences Privacy. Safari Clear All History works, but also logs me out of site to which I'd like to remain logged in. I use a MacBook Air, running Yosemite 10.10.1.

Cookies repopulate after I use Safari<Preferences<Privacy to try to remove some, but not all cookies. They don't seem to repopulate after I use Safari<Clear All History, but then I am logged out of sites to which I'd like to remain logged in. I use a MacBook Air, running Yosemite 10.10.1.

Hi,
I have an update so I thought I would share in case any other users are experiencing a similar problem.
I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
I went in and they ran a thorough diagnostic check on my Macbook Air and determined that the sensors were indeed faulty - several were providing no information "No reading" instead of providing a temperature. Thus, the Air was unaware of the temperature across multiple components.
Despite the laptop being outside the 12 Month Manufacturer Warranty, the Apple Store determined that it was covered under warranty through Australian Consumer Law - the laptop is now in for a complete repair under warranty at no cost to myself.
I couldn't be happier.

Why doesn't my clear history completely clear my history

Hi there,
I'm trying to clear all of the browsing history from my Firefox but it's not working. The function clears all of my searches and website preferences and passwords bar one or two websites. I've ticked all of the options for clearing history, apart from 'form and search history' as it won't let me tick this box. I also deleted all of my bookmarks, ran a CC cleaner and STILL there's search history when I start to type into the bar at the top. When I go into my history --> show all history having cleared it, it says that there is nothing there...
For example.. when I start to type P in the bar at the top.. UK Parliament immediately comes up. And my bar at the top of the page isn't one of those where you can just automatically search via Google so I don't think its doing that!...
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox but even so some websites are STILL there! How can I track these websites down and get rid of them?
Thanks for your help!!

Drag Places to the Trash. Quit Firefox. Empty Trash. That should work. It just worked for me after I got the same "in use" message.

Firefox doesn't delete my cookies when I clear all history.

When I go to options and clear all history (everything, all boxes checked), firefox does not delete my cookies because I am still logged into accounts. Not too sure about deleting all my history and cache either.
Is there a setting I am missing that bypasses certain accounts from getting deleted?

Is this about "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the cookies when you close Firefox?
If you leave tabs open when you exit Firefox then Firefox stores the cookies in sessionstore.js as part of the session data.
You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar

Since last update, Wells Fargo website opens in a sidebar, it it does open in Safari. Only way to make it work is to close all tabs and then open Wells Fargo from a bookmark. Have cleared all history, cache, cookies. Mac OS X 10.7.3 and Firefox 10.0.

Have cleared all history, cache, and cookies. Have a Mac running Lion OS X 10.7.3 and Firefox 10.0. This website works fine on a PC and Mac with Safari.

Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website. 
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac). 
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right. 
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

What can i do to restore performance of "Clear All History"; it runs slowly in v4.0

The comparative run times of Clear All History function between v4.0 and (I think) v3.61 is significantly degraded. It can run over a minute now, with minimal history cache.

Will you be the person paying for apps on both accounts?
Are you the only person that will use both of the iPads?
Is there a chance students will be using the work iPad and if so, do you want personal data stored on it?
If you're the only one using it I'd keep the same account just to have the flexibility of having access to everything on all devices. If your students will be using it or if the school is paying for the school apps I'd keep separate accounts. It all depends on how often you will use school apps from home, and home apps at school. Just some things to consider...

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

I need to check a few other things...
Click on 'Mail' in the upper left corner next to the Apple ()
Click Preferences
Click the 'Accounts' tab
Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
In the account information section what does it say next to:
Incoming Mail Server?
Outgoing Mail Server?
Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

Why does Clear All History take so long?

I like to clear my browse history frequently (daily). With recent releases, this takes a very long time. I frequently get an "Unresponsive script" warning. The message is:
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responnding. You can stop the script
now. or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:133
Why is this taking so long?

Are you doing that via History > Clear Recent History ?

Are you only clearing the history or are you clearing more items (cookies, cache)? 
If you clear more items then try to select only one of them to see if you can isolate the cause.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If I clear all history,will it be alright?

My iPad is very slow ,if I delete all history will it give me more space?

Clearing Safari's cache (assuming that is what you mean) would only marginally create more storage space on the device. Those files simply are not that large compared to some other content (but it also wouldn't hurt anything).
To check available storage on the device, ope the Settings App > General > Usage. If you are running much less that 10% of total storage as free, you may want to consider deleting some content (photos, videos, music, for example, as well as unused apps).
If you appear to have sufficient free space, you might want to consider trying a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Can't open my attached files on my yahoo email account unless clearing all history on Firefox - this is maddening!! Help!

Everytime I want to open an attached file on my yahoo email, I now have to clear all the history including: Browsing and download history, Form and search history, cookies, and cache before I can open attachments on my yahoo mail and then I have to re-enter all my passwords, etc.
This was previously not a problem opening any attached files like PDF files or document files.
Please help!

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
