I dont see a "clear history" nor any sort of drop down things. Why do they make shit difficult..

Also, the toolbar is weird, as soon as you click on it, the list that shows up has stars, magnifying glasses, & pencils on either side of each site listed.

so I hope this link helps. There is even a way to not store history ever ever ever.

Click that to find your search features. There is also an option to not save anything in the future.
(at least that's what some website forum that I googled said)

push comes to shove, and this is a turn me in, delete the fuckin app.

Level...this is so simple you're just gonna fucking kick yourself.....

First, grab the manual....check for "History....clearing".

Do what it says.

If that doesn't work....turn it off, then turn it on (this won't actually do anything at all to solve your dilemma, but you'll feel accomplished after you've done it).

Then, unplug the battery...actually remove the battery from the case and set it aside, then put the battery back in etc., plug it back in (this will likely wipe out all your stored information and also not do anything worthwhile as to your issue but....once again you'll feel productive).

Lastly, if none of the above does what you're seeking....go back to that 17 year old kid that sold you the thing and say....."Ok, I have a Samsung Galaxy Proclaim phone; android 2.3-- my question is, how do I clear the browser history on the google toolbar located on the desktop?

Tsk, tsk...

The way to use a magnet to erase shit is you vary the field strength and orientation relative to the offending storage medium.

If you're feeling exceedingly daring, you can put a 3" by 1" grade N55 neodymium magnet in a lathe chuck and move the storage medium closer in the correct orientation relative to the magnetic field, then move it away again. The downside to this approach is you need a blast shield in case something goes wrong, and you'll never seperate the magnet from the chuck again without using heat to scramble the magnet permanently.

Or ask the local hospital if they'll be so kind as to let you put your thingie in an ultra high field MRI and have them run a gradient accelerated spin echo sequence on it without the dissipation limits in place. That'll prolly even nuke flash storage, though it may have similarly deleterious effects on the coils and amplifiers. Expect the technician to take some persuading to agree to try this, and to beat you senseless when s/he's done laughing.

IWYW,
— Aswad.
