the JavaScript location object has nothing to do with the browser’s history.

cited from MDC

[the location object] contains information about the URL of the document and provides methods for changing that URL. You can also assign to this property to load another URL.

you may happen to mean the history object.

if you are trying to restrict the usear from going back then you can use this
[CODE=javascript]
<script language="javas cript" >
history.go(1); /* undo user navigation (ex: IE Back Button) */
</script>
[/CODE]
As for the original question... no, you can't delete/change/etc files that are on the users' computers. Simple as that.

You could do a cookie/IP/session/etc tracking with server or client side programming, or try what twey suggested.
