The editor remembers all the searches that you carry out in its various services. If you don’t want to keep all that history, you have a delete feature.
If you use a Google account, all the searches that you carry out in the various services of the publisher (Google search engine, YouTube, Gmail, etc.) are automatically recorded. Fortunately, you can do the housework. For that :
- With your browser, log into your Google account, for example via Gmail. To access your account, click on the applications icon at the top of the screen (set of 9 small squares), then on Account.
- The list of searches you have carried out can be found in the section My activity. Click on Access my activity.
- On the page, you can view all of your searches but also sort by date and / or by service. If you want to delete everything directly, click on Delete activities in the left column.
- Check that you have selected correctly The whole period and All products, then click To delete to do the big cleaning.
- If you want to make deletions without working blindly, go to the page My activity, as seen above, and use the search box. You can also click Filter by date and product.
- Choose the period and the products you are interested in (YouTube in our example below) and click on the search button.
- The list of results is then displayed and you can delete them one by one, or all of them. To do this, click on the icon of the three small vertical dots at the top of the screen, then select Delete results in the list.
A confirmation window will appear and you just have to click on To delete to confirm the operation.
