Clearing history doesn't seem to work

I use private browsing mode exclusively. For years I've used Tools > Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Data > Clear > Clear Now to clear the history, cache, cookies and so on during a session without having to close the browser, or so I thought. However, yesterday I ran into a situation (dealing with tech support for software) where it became painfully obvious that that process was NOT clearing out the history. So, a couple of questions:

1. Why, why, does it take 6 clicks to do that, instead of, say, just one click on a button on the toolbar?

2. Why didn't that clear out everything?

3. Where can I look to see whether all that stuff is cleared?

Thanks.

Fair enough.

I was having log-in problems with tech support for an anti-virus company. Working by chat. He/she wanted me to clear the browser history and try to log in again, but I was unable to clear it. Every time I tried, I was already logged in and no amount of effort short of closing the browser, which would have ended the chat session, would fix it. Incredibly frustrating, especially given that that process claims it clears everything.

My browser is set to not save passwords or logins. Ever.
