I want to delete everything from Second life and the Fireball viewer on my Windows 8 laptop. I dont want to be able to have my chat history in some hidden file on my laptop. I cant find it even though i searched for it and all the solutions ive found are for Windows 7 or Windows XP I need a fast solution.

I'm sure that you mean Firestorm, so use these instructions, but stop when you get to the step that says "Reinstall." Win 8 isn't that much different.  The files are almost identical to the ones in Win 7 or Win XP:

1)   Open C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local and delete the contents of the Firestorm  folder.
    2)   Open C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming and delete the contents of the Firestorm folder.
    3)   Uninstall Second Life using the Programs and Features tool in the Windows Control Panel.

    Note: <username> is your PCs Windows 8 User Account Login Name
