How to clear Google History

Discover how to delete your Google history

Clear Google History It is something that should be done frequently since this way we avoid that someone who uses our computer can see what searches we have made in Google while we were sailing.

Above all, it is something very important if we are using a public computer - in a library, university or work - and we want to preserve the privacy of our searches. Doing it is not very complicated but it is convenient to be clear about what this implies and the different options we have to do it in the most correct way possible.

 How to remove specific searches

google-activity

On many occasions it is normal to want to delete certain searches in the entire history but keep the rest of the history intact. For this you have to:

  • Access your history in https://www.google.com/history. There you can see all your activity on Google organized by days
  • Select the specific searches and click on the "remove items" button located below the statistics graphs

How to remove all searches

configuration-history

On the contrary, if what we want is to eliminate all searches from our Web history, what we have to do is:

  • Access your history in https://www.google.com/history.
  • Select the configuration menu found on the gear wheel located at the top right of the page (see previous image)
  • Click on the link «delete all»

Keep in mind that when you delete your search history, all information is lost, which can affect the quality of the searches that Google proposes.

How to turn off search history

disable google history

Menu to deactivate Google history

Finally, if what you want is disable google history so that no information about your future searches is saved, what you have to do is:

  • Access your history in https://www.google.com/history.
  • Select the configuration menu found on the gear wheel located at the top right of the page
  • Click on deactivate

As you can see, it is very simple delete your google history. In this way you can manage the privacy of your searches in the way you consider most appropriate.

We hope we have been helpful!

    Good to know this, firstly because it is really annoying when looking for some content on the web and secondly because that way we don't leave traces on the PC.

    Excellent, it didn't even cross my mind that you could do that, I'm going to do it at once since the computer I use is the one at work
    greetings from Costa Rica…..

    I have it configured so that it is deleted every time I close it at work, hehe.

    At home I don't care if Mr sees my searches ... although now that you've explained it so well I'll erase it from time to time.

  13.   fender said

    If you are at work, everything is registered on the server, do not be fooled, it does not matter if you erase the history, and from your teams from the registry they will also know where you are navigating ... do not be so calm ... it is best to send it according to what equipment you are not their own thing ... the same with the contarsenyas if you do it from work or with the team of the company you will contarsenays from msn and other hostorias would be the domain of infpormatic geek and asocial on duty ...


  14.   Killer Vinegar said

    Well Fender the case is to erase the visible history of Google which everyone can easily see if they use the same computer as you. What you mean is something more complex and although it is a problem it does not fall within the scope of this article. Here what we want is that if your friend sits down to use the Internet with you, he does not have to inadvertently see the searches you have made on Google.

    Anyway, thank you very much for the information.

    Vineyard greetings.

    what I do


  55.   jorgecgk said

    The history is not deleted with internet explorer options, I tried as soon as the places you visited appear in the history again.

    The only thing I can do is install ccleaner and configure it so that when restarting it automatically clears the history record, luckily

    George
