Erasing Autocomplete History

I was running a search on my computer and I noticed that
it saved my search on the autocomplete. I found out how to
do it so that it doesn't show the autocomplete. But I want
to know how to erase everything that has ever been
searched so it doesn't come up any more. Thank you

I know how to do that, but when you click
1. Star
2. Searc
3. The Autocomplete on things you have recently searched for
WHen you type a letter, the recent searches that begin with that letter. Those are what I want to delete.

In Start 'Search' window:
-Left column pick "More advanced options" chevron
--Slide down & pick "Change preferences"
---Pick "Turn autocomplete on/off"

Yes, I know I did do that, I just want to delete ANYTHING
AND EVERYTHING I have ever searched for so it will NEVER
show up again. Even if I do change the preferances.
