Is there a way to create a program, that when I press a submit button, the program wipes the internet history, cache files, etc, from the hard drive?
im kinda new at coding, can u get me started?

Its not possible. If it was, it would be an invasion of privacy.

It would have to be a normal executable running under the operating system, or an ActiveX control, and could not be a normal webpage. Creating such a program requires reasonable knowledge of a programming language such as C, C++, or something similar.

As Adam mentioned, that is software running on the local machine. The same functionality cannot be emulated from a Web Page.

Well he didn't say anywhere that it had to be executed from a webpage. There are a number of browsers that have this feature already

Where else can a submit button be pressed from? Unless the user is talking about an OS application, which would not really fit into Web Development.

Why don't we ask him? What exactly do you wish to do? You want to write an application to run locally on your PC? Or you want a webpage to do this? Because if it's the latter, the answer is no, you cannot.

Well, all programs run on the computer. Do you want a program that runs on a Web Server and has a web-based interface, or do you want a program runs on the client machine as a standalone peice of software?
