Buy a program that "bleaches" the hard drive space.  Simply formatting the drive still leaves data retrievable, it's just not seen by Windows.

If you just want to clear the searches on Yahoo, double click the search box, this will make a menu drop down with your searches, put your cursor on what you want to delete to highlight it, hit the delete button on your keyboard.  If you want to delete everything just hold the delete button down until everything is deleted.\n\n\nOr:\n\n1. Open up the Browser\n2. Click Tools at the top of your screen, then Internet Options\n3. Click on the Content tab. \n4. Under Personal information, click on the AutoComplete box. \n5. On the AutoComplete Settings window click the Clear Forms box to delete your current history \n6. You can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history.\n\n\nTo clear searches on Yahoo Toolbar:\n\n1. click the pencil icon beside the search box, a menu will drop down\n2. click Clear Recent Searches.\n3. If you want to stop saving recent searches, click Toolbar Options and uncheck "Enable Search History", or check "Auto-clear Search History when quitting IE" to clear history when you close your Internet connection. \n\n\nTo clear searches on  Google Toolbar\n1. Click on the 'Google' logo to access the drop-down menu.\n2. Select the 'Clear Search History' option. This will clear all the previous searches from the drop-down box.

You can also click on the "empty" button that sits to the left hand side of your screen, right next to "bulk". It's the easiest way to empty it without having to keep clicking on the boxes next to the emails.

Go to yahoo email and go to the options account information.  The email account is not going to make your computer run any better and it doesnt take up space on your harddrive.  If you have toolbars and things installed you might go in to add/remove programs and do that too. Most people who have any yahoo features installed have the toolbar and other things installed along with it.

DO NOT REFORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE!!!  That was a totally stupid suggestion.  Yes, go to Add/Remove Programs and remove it.  Or, you can go into the Startup Menu and deselect the Yahoo Task Bar so it won't automatically load every time you start up.

For programs, make sure you go to your Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) and uninstall the program rather than clicking delete in a folder.\n\nFor things that aren't in your Add/Remove Programs section, find them in your Start menu or in your hard drive folder and delete them. After deleting them, make sure you Empty your trash bin.\n\nAfter that, go to System Tools and run Disk Clean Up. Delete every item on the list that contains files. After that, run your Yahoo! Toolbar and delete any Spyware/Adware. Then restart your computer. Go to System Tools again and run Defragmentation. After that restart once more and your comp should be good to go.\n\nAnd remember, continue to Defrag once a week to keep your computer working good for years.

ok, login to your yahoo! mailbox. In the top right of the "Folders" box click "Edit". That will give you a list of all the folders. Then just go to the one you want deleted and click "Delete"\n\nbtw, I could use 10 points, Thanks!

You absolutely can. Just go to the Trash Folder. It should be located around where all the other folders are. Most emails have it, I know that Yahoo does at least. All the emails that were recently deleted should be in the trash folder. However, they can be deleted at any time. So hurry up!

Change your spam option to 'immediately delete ...', use the 'block address' option. In yahoo, you can block up to 500 address and also use the 'filters option' to direct spam to your trash. In addition I have done following in the past as well:\n\n1) Automatically empty your bulk folder (i.e. delete). Don't even bother going to the bulk folder.\n\n2) Create folders for the email that you are interested in and then set up those emails to go directly to target folders (via the filter option). This way you only read the emails in those folders and anything else is your IN box is spam. Then you can just delete those emails in you IN box.\n\nIf all fails, get a new email account and stop clicking on pop up ads, links, signing up for offerings. Any of these actions can get you to opt-in without knowing it. Then the spam cycle can start all over again.
