# Clearing the history list

Safari stores the addresses of webpages you have viewed in the history list. This list helps you return to those pages, but you may want to clear it to maintain privacy.

## To clear the history list:

■

To clear the entire list, choose History > Clear History.

■

To clear individual items from the list, click the open-book icon, click History in the Collections (left) column, and then highlight the items you want to clear and press the Delete key.

■

To have the history list automatically cleared, choose Safari > Preferences, click General, and choose an option from the "Remove history items" menu.
