Here’s how to make your search history for the

last 15 minutes a thing of the past.

Google wants to make it easier for you to delete your last search

whatever your reason may be. The new feature, which the search

giant unveiled Tuesday at its Google I/O developers conference,

is among a handful of new options designed to protect user privacy.

While Google didn’t get into the nitty gritty reasons why someone

might want to expunge the record of their search history, the company

did demonstrate how to do it, along with hiding select pictures from

Google Photos. You can watch in the video below, or scroll down

for instructions on how to delete your recent search history.

Note that the new feature covers a select time period

to batch-delete search terms.
