Many users want to clear search history in Google to maintain privacy or remove old queries from their account. Whether you use Google Search daily or occasionally, managing this data prevents personalized results from becoming too narrow. This article explains the precise steps to clear search history in Google on both desktop and mobile devices.
Google stores your search activity through the My Activity tool, which logs queries, visited pages, and interactions across Search, YouTube, Maps, and other services. Before you begin, sign in to the Google account whose history you want to manage. You will need an active internet connection and a web browser or the Google app. No additional software is required.
Clearing data here affects future search suggestions and personalized ads but does not delete saved bookmarks or passwords.
Open your browser and go directly to myactivity.google.com. Sign in with the correct Google account if prompted. You will see a timeline of recent searches and other activity.
Click the Filter icon on the left sidebar. Select "Search" from the Product list and set a date range if you do not want to delete everything. Click Apply to narrow the results.
For single entries, click the three-dot menu next to each search and choose Delete. For bulk removal, click the three-dot menu at the top and select Delete results or Delete activity by.
Google will ask for confirmation. Click Delete to finish. Refresh the page to confirm the selected searches no longer appear in the list.
Launch the Google app on your phone. Tap your profile picture in the top right, then tap Manage your Google Account. Scroll to Data & privacy and select My Activity.
Tap the three-line menu, choose Filter by date & product, select Search, and apply. Use the trash icon or three-dot menu to delete individual or multiple items at once.
Return to Data & privacy, tap Web & App Activity, and toggle the setting off to stop Google from saving new searches.
No. Passwords are stored separately in Google Password Manager and remain untouched when you delete search activity.
Once you confirm deletion in My Activity, the data is permanently removed and cannot be restored through standard Google tools.
Clearing history reduces personalization, but ad settings must be adjusted separately in the Ads section of your Google Account for full control.
Following these steps lets you clear search history in Google efficiently while keeping full control over your account data.
Follow SUSE’s SP7 procedure to enable FIPS mode, reboot safely, verify the active policy, and check whether your compliance requirement calls for validated modules.
Compare YaST and cryptsetup for a new encrypted SLES data volume, choose LUKS1 or LUKS2, and verify unlock and mount behavior safely.
Create, refine, and verify a least-privilege AppArmor profile on SLES 15 SP7, with a clear note on SLES 16’s SELinux default.
Set up RMT on SLES 15, mirror entitled repositories, and verify HTTPS registration and package access from a test client.
Connect SLES 15 to AD with YaST’s SSSD-based logon management, then verify directory lookup, domain login, and Kerberos tickets.
Set up the right Live Patching path for SLES 16.0 or 15 SP7, apply eligible kernel fixes, and confirm what is active without confusing it with a reboot-required kernel update.
Load a custom SLES 15 kernel module without disabling Secure Boot. Match the running kernel, sign the .ko file, enroll a MOK key, and verify loading.
SLES 15 SP5 can migrate online to SP6, but each node must reboot. Use a tested rolling upgrade or blue-green cutover to keep workloads reachable.
Use SUSE’s supported STIG profile to scan SLES 15, test remediation, review remaining findings, and retain assessment evidence.
Trace a failed Cockpit connection through DNS, port 9090, the systemd socket, firewalld, TLS, and login settings using current SUSE guidance.
