Automatic deletion of Google Web and the YouTube app, location and history

To have Google automatically delete Google Web & App, location, and YouTube history, follow these steps:

1. Visit the myaccount.google.com website.
2. Log into your Gmail account.

4. Click on Manage your activity controls.
5. Click on the Automatic deletion button.
6. Select the deletion period.

You need to open the Google account page from where you can change various settings related to the account. To do this, type https://myactivity.google.com/ in the browser’s address bar, then tap the Enter button. Now you need to enter the credentials for your Gmail account. As this feature is specific to the account, you must enter the e-mail ID whose history you want to delete at a predefined time.

After doing this successfully, you should see an option called Manage your data and personalization under Confidentiality and personalization. Click on it.

Then click on the Manage your activity controls in the Activity Orders box.

Here you can find all Activity checks associated parameters and options. You must click on the Automatic deletion (disabled) option.

Then select the time as you need. As of now, Google allows users to choose between 3 months or 18 months.

Therefore, choose something between these two options and click on the button Next and confirm the change.

After that, Google will automatically delete all histories that are older than the selected time.

That’s all! I hope it helps.
