The history index files (in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default) go back to 2008 -- and are taking up a lot of disk space.

Is there a standard way to delete them?

I saw an earlier post saying they can be deleted manually -- but are there side effects?

It seems that Chrome should provide options for how long they stay around, and/or offer a way to delete them manually.

Click....
Wrench icon > Options > Under the Hood > Clear browsing data

And if your on windows you may find Click and Clean useful....

and have a look at this one who is kind of neat also: https://chrome.google.com/extensions...pelnchhidcfhac

Go to option and delete your history.

Thanks -- that worked.

hello, Although index.dat files are useful, they can compromise your privacy as any person who has some knowledge about index.dat files and has access to your computer can see the history of your Internet activities. Thanks online ged diploma
