    This depends on the web browser you're using.  The technique is similar across browsers, but for precise directions you would need to consult the appropriate browser documentation.

    Go to internet options under the tools tab pulldown menu and select Delete under Browsing history.

    Check the box next to cookies and uncheck those items you don't want to delete.

    I have followed the steps outlined in the first paragraph above. I then conducted a scan using McAfee software and was advised I still have 504 cookies lodged on my computer! How do I remove cookies, all cookies, and be able to verify they are removed? In earlier versions of IE I could acces a window that showed me how many files and cookies remained after I had attempted to delete them, allowing me to delete those I did not wish to remain.
