Do you wish you could wipe your Google Chrome search history and start with a clean slate? Luckily, it's both possible and easy to do! There are a few benefits to deleting your search history.

First and foremost is privacy. Of course, Google will still have all your search history on file, but it'll stop prying family members from seeing what you have been looking at.

Second, it'll stop your browser from autocompleting websites you've previously visited and search terms you've previously looked for. If you've recently changed employer or moved to a new city, it might be useful. So, how do you delete your Google Chrome history?
