I want to delete my internet history from my PC like what things I have searched for and where I have been.
How do I do this? (I searched but couldn't find it)
Also, are there any specific disadvantages of doing this?
I haven't done anything illegal or anything I just want to make it so when I search on google etc it doesn't display previous searches etc.

But when I go on google it still displays my previous searches. Any ideas how to get rid of this?
ooh, you had to log back in becuase the cookie stored on your pc that told thesite that you were...you, was deleted along with the others. (not that that's a problem if you know your password )
in IE, tools > internet options >
in the general tab, in the "temporary internet files" bit, delete cookies, delete files
then below that - "clear history"
then in the content tab, click "auto complete" then "clear forms" to get rid of your google search history.
or, you could get microsoft antispyware that'll do that all for you at a click of a button :thumb:
if you want, you can also set it (where it says "clear history" as previously mentioned) so it doesn't remember your history. just set it to 0 days. :yes:
of course, if your sensible & use firefox, these instructions wont be much use
