Below is a detailed, step-by-step tutorial on how to remove cookies from the Mountain View-based search engine giant’s web browser, Google Chrome. You can remove specific cookies if that is what you want, or you can remove all the cookies Chrome managed to store so far. Just follow the steps below and you’ll be just fine.

Step 1. Launch the Google Chrome browser.
In this regard you can double click the Chrome desktop icon, click the Chrome icon from the Start menu, or whatever other means you use to launch the software application (I prefer to type in chrome.exe in Run).

Step 2. From the top right hand corner of the Chrome window click the wrench menu (it’s called the wrench menu because it looks like a wrench).

Step 3. A dropdown menu will appear -> click Options.

Step 4. The Google Chrome Options window will now appear. At the top you will see the following tabs: Basics, Personal Stuff and Under the Hood. Click the Under the Hood tab.

Step 5. In the Privacy section there’s a Cookie settings dropdown menu. Right beneath it there’s a button that says Show cookies –> click Show Cookies.

Step 6. The Cookies window will appear. You can now select a specific cookie and get rid of it by clicking Remove. If you want to remove more than one cookie, hold down Ctrl -> select the cookies you would like to remove -> then click Remove. If you want to get rid of all the cookies Chrome has saved so far, just click the Remove all button.

Step 7. Click Close to close the Cookies window -> click Close to close the Google Chrome Options window and you’re done.

Thanks for showing me how to delete cookies. My next qu is: In google chrome there is a 'view all history' tab. It only gives the option to delete all tracks viewed. I do not wish to delete all of them. Is there a way of deleting one track at a time? Hope you can assist!! Waiting to hear from you Cheers Lidia
