How do you delete information about yourself on Google?

Answer 1

Information on Google's services can be removed on the account settings. However, any personal information on the search engine cannot be removed by Google, as it only indexes the websites, and collects information. The easiest thing to do is to contact the site that shows the information (the site that shows up in Google searches).

Answer 2

It depends on what browser your using. Their should be something called history under file {or a variant of that} and then once you click on history their should be an option that says clear private data.

Answer 3

There are two parts to the answer.

You can sort of remove traces of yourself from the results that pop up in search results. You'd approach this by searching for the web pages you appear on and trying to remove yourself from the pages Google or anyone else's search bots go hunting around and find you on. If you're not famous, there's not much to delete. If you're showing up in dozens of places, some of which repeat and get copied out, it probably won't happen, you would have to hope these pages will get less significant or maybe disappear, though even then, if they show up toward the top, a searcher might be able to see cached results (a snapshot of a now gone web page). If something represents a legal threat to your safety, it would take some kind of law-based court order, but even that can't work magic and probably won't happen.

The second part is the traces that were found in past and are stored on a search engine's (Google's) servers. Even if they don't show up in search results, they might be there for the duration of the search engine's life, since they might decide to keep the data for their own purposes. You probably have no control over this, and even if you did, there are lots of search engines besides Google that can keep their own records.

Prevention is much better than cure.

Answer 4

It is nearly impossible to remove yourself 100% from the internet once leaving a mark on it. Even if you are not a famous person people who look you up on search engines or programs designed to locate information are bound to find some stuff on you. You can delete social media accounts and other things of that kind to help cut down on information on you.

Answer 5

You cannot. It'll be there forever. Enough said.
