What's up, everyone. I'm Max Dalton,
and in this video I'll show you how to delete your Google Chrome browsing history.
Everyone has visited at least a few websites they'd be embarrassed if anyone else ever knew
about, either on accident or on purpose. So if you've visited some shady or sketchy sites
you're afraid someone is going to find in your browsing history, don't panic. Google
makes it possible to easily clear your Google Chrome browsing history over over short and
long time periods to help ensure that no one else will see what you've been up to.
Additionally, if you need to clear your Google search history as an added precaution,
I'll link to my video in the description that will show you
how to do that. In this video I'll show you how to clear your Google Chrome search history in both
the Google Chrome desktop browser, and the Google Chrome app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
First let's walk through the steps to delete your Google Chrome browsing history
in the Google Chrome desktop app.
Step 1. Launch Google Chrome on your desktop computer. You'll land
on your Google Chrome home screen.
Step 2. Click the icon featuring a vertical ellipses at the top of the screen to open a menu.
Step 3. Click "More Tools" in this menu. More options will be displayed.
Step 4. Click "Clear Browsing Data" in the expanded list of options.
The Clear Browsing Data window will be shown.
Step 5. Make sure the "Advanced" tab is selected in this window. Advanced options for clearing your
Google Chrome browser history will be displayed in the lower part of the window.
Step 6. Click the "Time Range" drop-down, where you'll see options for how far back you want to
clear your Google Chrome browsing history. You can choose to clear your browsing history for
either 24 hours, one day, seven days, four weeks, or all of your browsing history. In this example
I'll choose to clear all of my Google Chrome browsing history.
Step 7. Move down to the next part of the menu where you'll see options for what you
can choose to delete, such as your download history, cookies, cached images and files,
and more. Click to place a check mark next to any items you want to delete and get rid of over your
specified time frame. In this example I'll just choose to delete my Google Chrome browsing data.
Step 8. Click "Clear Data" after making your selections.
The window will close, and your selected data will be immediately removed.
Now let's walk through the steps to delete your Google Chrome browsing history
in the Google Chrome app on iPhone, iPad or Android devices.

iPad or Android device. You'll land on your Google Chrome home screen.
