How do I clear my history on Safari on an iPod?

Community Answer

If it's on iPod touch then you have to go into bookmarks where you'll find history, then when you go in there you will see a button that says clear at the bottom.

Question

I keep trying to delete my search history, but every time I do, this one website won't go away. Why?

Community Answer

Did you accidentally bookmark the website? If so, you will have to remove the bookmark. You might have also visited a site with a virus. Try clearing the history once more, and delete all of your tabs. Turn your computer off and on, and then see if the website is gone.
