Welcome to the forums... and to clear the cache from the market simply go to settings > applications > manage applications > market and then click the clear cache button

androidmaker

2 ways to do it...

1) settings> applications > manage applications > CLICK browser and clear

2) Open Browser click menu button then more > settings then clear specific things like data, cookies, passwords etc...

AFAIK it cannot be done from phone settings. I believe it can be done if you have root and you delete the relevant file. I have seen a post on here before that names the file.

androidmaker

anyone have a link to that maybe i can write an app to do this if i know what file it is ?

Any app that use cache can be cleared by the following method :

System settings > Applications > Manage Applications

Then search for That Application, long press it then hit clear cache

SO.....

System settings > Applications > Manage Applications

Then Find Market, LongPress Market then hit clear cache

Then Find Browser, LongPress Browser then hit clear cache

You DO need to be Rooted :

Delete search history from Market?

It looks like they may be working on this:

Issue 4566 - android - Ability to delete (all or some) of market search history - Project Hosting on Google Code

On my N1, Settings=> Privacy => Factory Data Reset

- clears it, along with shed-loads of other stuff (like downloaded apps..).


Thankfully Google sync's back yr contacts & calendar & which APPs you'd purchased so you can download again for no-extra-charge....

Cheers!
