I have tried several approaches to this but nothing seems to work. The issue I have been having is after I clear my Cache, History, and cookies several times through the browser and while using CCleaner. It doesn't clear everything properly. What I mean is after I clear everything I type in the url bar and previous sites come up when typing the first letter "B" brings up blockchain.com and so on. I tested my theory of it being related to search history by opening options > and then deselecting the "Browsing history" option under the "Address Bar" section. After deslecting that I tried typing in "B" and nothing came up. How do I fully clear my history?
