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.
