Just Google "How do I clear history on a MacBook Pro"?  That's what I did.  Here's the link.

All Macs come with Safari from what I understand.  You must go into settings to find it.  Do you have a stttings app? It looks like a gray colored looking gear thingy in a box.

 

You must go into that app.  You should be able to scroll down to find Safari. It is a small blue app. Once you go into Safari, scroll down on the right until you find Clear History and Website Data..click on that,and then click on Clear.

Open Safari. Go under the History menu bar, top of the web browser and at the bottom select "Clear History ..."  A window will pop up asking if you want to clear all history or just certain times (like today or yesterday).  Select whichever you want and then click the Clear History button.

@cbrite, if you don't see the Safai icon in your dock, go into your Applications folder and look for Safari there. Double click to launch it, then follow the directions to clear history.

@AspenGrove I did exactly that....the Icon finally showed up and I ran it.... Now I don't see the darn thing.....so, I don't know what the heck I'm doing wrong... Maybe I have to go back into History or Finder... I did empty the trash, lol...

 

Thank you to everyone....
