Can you delete additional information that is left from using Private Browsing. In order to get rid of the private browsing data, it must be dome manually through terminal.

 

Instructions for deleting Private Browsing Data:

1) Now open a Terminal by selecting Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal. Enter the command:

dscacheutil -cachedump -entries Host

 

2) The good news is that the dscacheutil utility comes with a way for you to clear those entries. Enter the command (in a Terminal):

dscacheutil -flushcache

 

3) Now run the dscacheutil -cachedump -entries Host command again. This time you?ll get a blank Directory Service cache.

 

I am not sure if there is any additional information to delete, maybe someone else could chime in and help.

 

Thanks!
