Here’s how you can delete your Google Search History

When you clear your Google search history, you are removing a wealth of data that may be exploited by shady persons. Consider how many times you’ve searched for an address, a phone number, information about a job, or other data that could help a hacker steal your identity, locate you in person, or generate other undesirable effects.

While Google didn’t go into detail about the different reasons why someone might want to delete their search history, it did show how to do so, as well as how to hide certain photos from Google Photos.
