To delete search history as thoroughly as the documented settings allow, clear it in the search provider account and separately delete browser history on every browser profile and device you use. Then turn off the provider’s history setting if you do not want future searches saved. These steps remove records controlled through those settings; they cannot guarantee that every copy held by other parties or retained for legal or business reasons is erased.

What “search history” includes

Search history can refer to searches saved to a provider account, pages recorded by a browser, or browser history synced across devices. These are separate records: deleting one does not necessarily delete the others.

  • Provider account activity: Searches saved to a Google or Microsoft account.
  • Browser history: Pages recorded by Chrome or another browser on a device or profile.
  • Synced history: Browser history shared across devices when sync is enabled.

The procedures below cover Google Search, Bing, and Chrome. They do not establish deletion of records held by internet providers, employers or schools, websites, network administrators, or other parties.

Delete Google Search history

  1. Open Google Search history in My Activity and sign in to the relevant Google Account.
  2. Choose Delete, then Delete all time to remove all displayed search history. Use the date range, day, or individual-item options if you want a narrower deletion instead.
  3. To stop future account saving, open Controls under Web & App Activity and choose Turn off. To combine stopping future saving with deleting existing activity, choose Turn off and delete activity and follow the prompts.

These account controls are separate from browser history. Google says a browser may record activity that was not saved to the Google Account or was deleted from My Activity. Searches in the Google app while signed out may also be saved on the computer. Incognito can prevent searches from being saved to the signed-in Google Account during that browsing session, but it does not delete earlier history. Google also notes that some data may be retained longer for limited business or legal purposes.

Delete Bing search history

Use the route that matches how you searched:

If you were signed out

  1. Open the Bing Search History page.
  2. Choose Clear all to remove the history associated with that signed-out use.

If you were signed in with a personal Microsoft account

  1. Open the Microsoft Privacy dashboard.
  2. Choose Browsing and search, then clear all activities in Search history.

If you used a work or school account

Microsoft’s instructions direct work or school account users to clear all history on the Bing Search History page. Account administrators may also manage workplace or school systems separately.

Turning off Show new searches here prevents new items from being added, but does not delete existing history; clear it separately. The dashboard controls apply to searches associated with the signed-in Microsoft account, not searches made while signed out. Microsoft says that after you clear data from the dashboard, it begins removing it from its systems; this is not a promise of immediate removal of every copy.

Delete Chrome browsing history

  1. In Chrome, open More (the three-dot menu), then Delete browsing data.
  2. Choose All time as the time range.
  3. Select Browsing history. Select other categories only if you also want to remove them.
  4. Choose Delete data to confirm.

Chrome says deleting browsing history removes visited addresses from the History page, New Tab shortcuts, and related address-bar predictions. If you are signed in and history is synced, deletion also removes that history from devices where it is synced and from the Google Account. Repeat the steps for other Chrome profiles and browsers you use.

Choose additional data carefully

  • Cookies and other site data: Can sign you out of sites and remove site preferences.
  • Cached images and files: Separate from browsing history; select this only if you also want to clear the cache.
  • Download history: Removes the browser’s download list, not the downloaded files themselves.
  • Passwords, passkeys, and autofill: Separate data categories. Do not select them unless you intend to remove those saved details too.

Google’s Chrome help page describes History as listing pages visited in the last 90 days. That visible list is not a complete account-data retention policy.

Use this checklist for a more complete cleanup

  1. Clear provider-account search history for each account you use, including Google or Microsoft accounts.
  2. Clear browser history with the full time range selected in each browser profile and on devices that do not share synced history.
  3. Check whether browser sync is enabled. In Chrome, synced history deletion propagates to devices where that history is synced.
  4. Turn off provider history saving if you want to prevent future account activity from being saved. This setting does not replace deletion of existing history.
  5. Decide separately whether to clear cookies, cache, downloads, autofill, or passwords; those choices have effects beyond search history.

Provider and browser deletion controls apply to records covered by those services and settings. They do not prove that all copies everywhere have disappeared.
