Bug Description
When a user selects "Clear Private Data" and chooses to clear the browsing history midori will perform an SQL "DELETE FROM history". However, it does not also perform a vacuum (or delete and recreate the file) so as to actually remove the information from the file.
Thus, even after clearing the history it is possible to retrieve much of its content using e.g. the command "strings .config/

The problem is, we can't vacuum at runtime while we are using the database. We would need to lock it and keep modifications during vacuuming in a different place. In the event of a crash, all changes during that time would be lost.
