Your Google search history is an archive of everything you have ever searched on Google. Though keeping your search history for a long time is a convenient way to look up old links and to remember what you've searched, you may feel that it's time to consider your privacy and clear all of your old searches. If you want to know how to clear your Google search history, just follow these easy steps and you'll be able to do it in less than a minute.
