Is there a Safari Cache folder somewhere that I can throw away all of the links that I've visited?? (Beside the "Clear History" ) ??? Or there isn't any?

And, on www.google.com, I hate it when I type a Search word on the box and it automatically show the words that I've typed before. How can I clean up the memory of google's?

Thanks in advance!

If you want to clear Safari's memory of everything, you can choose Reset Safari from the Safari menu. It'll forget everything naughty that you've been downloading, and nobody will know of your attraction to various wild animals

If you want to remove just individual items, the memory of Safari's google search field (the one in the toolbar) can be cleared by chooding Clear Entries from the Menu that shows up when clicking the magnifying glass icon.

If you want to clear the history, just choose Clear History from the History menu, or to remove individual items, head into the full bookmarks school (Show all Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu, or the bookmark icon in the favourites bar), click the history on the left, find the item you wish to remove and press the delete key. You can select multiple items in the standard ways: dragging, shift click for a continuos selection, and command click for a broken selection.

You can clear you downloaded file history by simply clicking the Clear button in the Downloads window (Downloads from the Window menu).

If you want to clear cookies, head into the Security section of the Preferences (Preferences from the Safari menu). Click Show Cookies where you'll be able to remove items by selecting them and clicking Remove for each item. Otherwise, you can click Remove All to nuke all the Cookies stored there.

Finally, you can remove Safari's memorised Autofill items by clicking on the Autofill section of Safari's preferences. From here, click on the Edit... button next "User names and Passwords" to remove memorised user names and passwords for websites you use. Click the Edit... button next to "Other forms" to remove items from other forms that may be memories (this would for example include the search field on the Google website).

Great answer, Proton...!!!

I consider myself an "Safari advanced user", but I didn't "know" how to delete the Google autofill items... it's obvious to me now...

;-)

Thanks, Jellytussle, but not: one thing is the Google text box, and another is the box in the Google website...
