Description Stéphane Magnenat 2007-08-31 23:54:13 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Clearing all privacy data does not clear "Most Often Visited" in View menu in konqueror.
But running: rm .kde/share/apps/konqueror/faviconrc does.

Is it a duplicate of:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148457
?

It might be, I'm not sure to understand which precise problem is reported in bug 148457. In this case, it's specifically View -> "Most Often Visited" that is not cleared even when all clearing options are set in kcontrol->privacy.
I suppose that activating Clear Web History should clear that too.

Confirming.

May it be related to Konqueror instances that are kept in memory? I've noticed that if I delete ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/konq_history and ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/faviconrc during my KDE session, and then log out, those files are recreated with the previous content. The only explanation I can think of is  that the in-memory Konqueror instance preserves that information and flushes it to disk when it exists (which occurs at the end of the KDE session).

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Kcontrol has been replaced by System Settings in Plasma. Please give the latest version of that a try, and open a new bug in "systemsettings" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
