did you get any recovery CDs with the machine
If you go into
start
programs
there may be under HP a recovery manager, which will allow you to put the machine back to the condition it was on when it was first purchased - But you will lose any Data and any programs that where installed later
OR
you can use the recovery CDs, which may have been supplied or made from the machine - same program

otherwise

you want to
go onto internet explorer - assuming this is the only browser
tools
internet options
delete history
temp files

empty recycle bin

if videos have been downloaded they may be in a number of formats
* .wmv
*.flv
*.mp4
formats

do a search across the c: drive and any other drive it may have D: or E: for these types of files
