Deleting google history on safari

I have a question about deleting my google history from the iPhone. I have cleared the browsing history etc in general settings page but when in google if you type the first letter it gives you options that you have searched before. How do you delete these??
Any suggestions?

Ok, I know what you mean now, but don't know if there is a way to clear. Sounds the same as email addresses people complain about. If you hand type an email address when making an email it will remain there as well with no option to clear. The only way to clear (which odds are the same for the search) is to Restore your phone and don't load the backup but start fresh.

  • I try to delete my history on safari which it does but still random websites keep showing up

    I try to delete my history on safari which it does but still random websites keep showing up when i type a letter "g" for google as if I had just visited that page...I believe it just started doing it since the latest update. How can I fix it?

    If you regulalry back up your phones in itunes, and havent backed up your phone since this happed, then connect to itunes, click on the restore button under the summary tab and restore your phone from your back up. Then turn on private browsing after thats done.

  • IPad auto deleting browser history in safari

    My partners iPad(1) 16GB WiFi (Firmware 4.3.3) is deleting all browser history sparadically. For example it was there for 1 week and then deleted for 2 days running. Is this a reported fault or are they just manually clearing the history to hide stuff?

    Ok...maybe preferences are corrupted...
    Go to ~/Library/Prerferences
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari, go to the menu bar click History > Clear History
    If that helped, move the .plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. If not, just move it back to the Preferences folder.
    If you don't want history saved when you visit Facebook, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Private Browsing

    Hi All !
    I would like to know how I can delete the google search history in safari?
    Thanks

    I just found the answer somewhere else in the forum - it worked for me.
    Clear it while in Safari by going to bookmarks, then "History," and then the "Clear" button in the bottom left.

  • I can delete history in safari but when i tap the Google icon on home page, it doesn't work

    I have Safari on the Home screen and it opens to Google. I never use that icon. There is also a separate Google icon. I want to delete all history and cookies from Google. I found instruction online for how to delete history from Safari which i did successfully. But when i touch the Google icon on Home screen, the history still is there. I just don't know what to do.  There must be a way. btw, i don't know why i have both Safari and Google. I might have added Google when i got the iPod or perhaps somone else did. i'm not sure it was there when i bought it.
    I really need to delete the history.  There must be someone out there who can tell me... and I would truly appreciate getting a solution. Thanks loads!!!

    I retraced my steps to how i got the Google app:
    App Store icon on Home Screen > Search, at bottom > entered Google
    The first Google App on the screen appears:
    Google logo small g in blue square: Google Search; Open (because it is already installed).  Below that is a picture of the iPod with the usual  Google Search screen.  I have never inserted a link into a discussion group so i hope you can open this.

    Does this bring us any closer? 

  • Clear Google search history from Safari Toolbar (v.4.0.3 and up)

    How to clear your search history. TEDIOUS but works.
    *Delete Google results pages from the history*
    In Safari 4.0.3 and up, you may now search your history. Search for the URL string www.google.com/search? and delete the records that match it.
    *Clear the search strings from the toolbar*
    Quit Safari then from the Terminal, run this command:
    defaults delete com.apple.safari RecentSearchStrings
    When you start Safari again, the search history should be empty.
    Somebody could probably build a shell script that searches the History.plist XML file and deletes the <dict> sections AND resets the Safari plist at the same time. I'm not that good with string manipulation, so I'm hoping somebody with experience could pick this up. Then that shell script could be made into an AppleScript or set up with Automator. Wishful thinking?

  • Unable to clear Google search history in Safari

    I am unable to clear old searches in Safari.  None of the following has any effect: using the clear recent searches button, totally resetting Safari, deleting all history and cache and trying to delete each individual search item manually, or by changing default search method.  These are old items, not recent searches, but they continue to show up in the recent search area.  It appears to be a bug.  Any ideas how to REALLY clear out the search cache?
    THANKS

    Seem to have finally fixed it by deleting the safari plist entry.

  • How to delete all history in the newest version of safari?

    how do you delete all history in the newest version of safari?

         Hello, elizl1597,  You are going to want to open the safari app, bring your cursor to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear, then go over to history.  After you click on history on the menu bar, you are going to want to go to the bottom of the dropdown to where it says clear history.  Once you click clear history, your history on the safari app should be cleared. 
    This theory should work on all versions of an Apple Mac.
    When you hit clear history, you won't be able to undo this action.

  • How Do I Delete ONLY The History in Safari 8.0?

    When attempting to delete the history, WITHOUT deleting website data, cookies and the like, the end result is that Safari 8.0 is basically reset. Is there a work-around or is this an Apple oversight?

    What is the URL of that start page?
    You can delete the formhistory.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder to remove all stored form data.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
