Google collects data about us as we use the Internet over time. If you want to learn how to delete everything that Google collects about you, this article shows you how to delete all searches of My Activity.
What is Google My Activity?
Google My Activity is known in English as Google My Activity. This is a Google tool through which we can consult the activity data associated with our Google account.
Basically, it is a transparency tool through which we can know the data to which Google has access. A quick glance at My Activity is all it takes to see all the data Google has collected about us. If we go to My Activity we can choose the data we want to share. We can manage them and also delete them if we wish. This way we do not necessarily have to share all our information, we have the option to choose what we want to share.
How to log in to My Activity Google?
Accessing Google’s My Activity is easy, just go to the following web page myactivity.google.com/myactivity and log in with your Google account. Obviously, the Google account with which we identify ourselves will be the one where we can see the complete history of the saved activity as we will see below.
How to view your complete My Saved Activity history?
Simply login to Google My Activity to quickly see all the activity that has been carried out through the account. In the central part of the page, you will be able to find the search histories you have carried out in Google and also the pages you have accessed. This content is displayed with the time and location where it was performed. In addition, each search can be deleted individually.
It also has a filter in the central part to be able to narrow down searches and find specific content in case you are looking for something specific. If you want to locate a specific search it will be much easier with the filter, being able to set the days to search.
On the other hand, at the top of the page are shown the different Activity options that you can customize to choose what is shown and what is not shown in each of the options. For example, you can configure the activity on the website, locations or YouTube if you do not want this information to be stored with the rest. This way you will be able to configure everything you need to be shown in the central common activity box where all types of activities are displayed.
How to delete Google My Activity?
When you access My Activity, you can see and delete each recorded action individually. However, manually removing every search and interaction can be tedious. Fortunately, there are faster methods to clear your history.
By clicking on the three-dot menu in the top left corner, you can access the “Delete activity by” option. This allows you to select a specific date range or erase all stored data. You can remove history from yesterday, the past week, or the last month, and even delete everything permanently.
Additionally, you can choose which products to remove from your history, such as Android, ads, books, or maps. Once you’ve selected the time range and desired options, simply click “Delete” to finalize the process. Here’s how to delete information from Google in general in case you need it.
Regularly clearing your activity helps reduce Google’s tracking of your online behavior. We recommend doing this periodically to manage your data more effectively. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Keep in mind that deleting My Activity only removes the data Google stores about your browsing, not the information about you that appears in search results. If you have found your personal details published online and want them taken down, at RepScan we can help you remove your personal data from the internet.
