Clear Windows Activity History
Remove Windows search and run history, recent document records, temporary traces, and other local activity details that can reveal how a shared PC was used.
GiliSoft Privacy Protector brings history cleanup, file protection, and secure deletion together on Windows. Clear browsing history, recent document lists, temporary files, and application records that reveal what you have opened, searched for, or worked on.
Protect the files you keep as well as the traces you leave. Hide personal photos and documents, lock files and folders against unwanted access, or protect important records from modification and deletion. Private Disk gives your documents, pictures, music, and videos a dedicated private space.
Use File Shredder to securely delete confidential files you no longer need. Set automatic cleanup at computer startup or shutdown, select the history categories to erase, and manage password recovery and self-protection from the same application.
Whether you share a family PC, handle client documents, or work with financial records and ID scans, Privacy Protector helps keep everyday computer use and personal data private. See the Privacy Protector user guide for the setup and controls.

Review Windows activity, browser history, and supported application traces without opening a different cleanup utility for each source.
Select history and privacy categories before cleanup instead of treating every local record as disposable.
Configure automatic cleanup for routine shared-PC use, then keep manual control for files or traces that need closer review.
Hide or lock current documents, protect important records from changes, and shred sensitive working copies when they are no longer needed.
Open Windows History, Application History, or Internet History. Review the selected categories, close the affected applications, and click Erase.
Choose Hiding File, Locking File, or Protecting File, then add the files, folders, or local drives you want to protect.
Use Settings > Schedule for startup or shutdown cleanup. For confidential files you no longer need, review the targets in File Shredder before using Safe Delete.

No. Clearing recent-file history removes the list of files you opened, not the original documents. Recycle Bin and temporary-file cleanup are separate deletion options, so review the selected categories before clicking Erase.
Hide keeps selected files, folders, or local drives out of ordinary browsing. Lock blocks access until you unlock the item through Privacy Protector. Protect restricts modification and deletion while keeping the content readable. These controls apply on the protected PC; they do not add a portable password to a file you send elsewhere.

File Shredder securely deletes selected files and folders instead of simply moving them to the Recycle Bin. It also provides a Disk Wiper option for drive data. Review the target and keep any required backup first. Recovery resistance depends on the storage device, and separate copies or backups are not removed by shredding one file.
Private Disk keeps personal documents, pictures, music, and videos in a dedicated private space. Use the content categories to browse or open your private files from within Privacy Protector.
