How To Quickly Manage And Delete Your Google Search History

Google has made it easier than ever to clear your search results.

- Michael Simon

We already know Google collects a ton of data on us, and a lot of it comes from search. Google offers plenty of ways to limit the amount of data you have lying around, but they’re not all that easy to find. But now, Google is making it easier (go.pcworld.com/easy) to both see and delete your search activity.

Previously, you could visit your Google Account in Settings on Android phones or on the web on iOS, tap Manage Your Data & Personalization and then My Activity to see your search results. Then you needed to tap the three-dot menu and select Delete to get rid of something. Finding your search history on desktops was just as cumbersome.
