Pick the common browsers and find out where they store that data and how they configure that they store that data (folders might be in the registry, might be in config files, might be hard-coded), then just look for those folders and remove the relevant files.

There are no standards for browsers so they all implement their functionality in different ways so there is no way to do this generically.

A list of all installed browser do you get by query the those registry-keys [^]... cleaning is browser dependent.
