Hello Gregthehook-ga ,


Thank you for your question.

Sorry for the delay in answering your question. When the word “Google”
is included in a query, the question gets locked automatically and can
be only unlocked after the editors review it.

To delete past searches from Google:

“Click once in the Google search box and get a "drop down" box to
appear, listing all the things you've searched for in the past at
Google. (Alternatively, you can start typing a query, and you'll be
shown any queries that contain the first letters that you've typed.)

Now let's say in the drop down list of past searches is a particular
query that you want to remove. Use the arrow keys on your computer
keyboard to highlight the particular entry. Alternatively, highlight
the entry using your mouse but don't click on it! Next, once the entry
has been highlighted, push the "Delete" button on your computer
keyword. The entry should disappear.”

If you are using the Google Toolbar and you want to clear your
previous searches:
 
- Click on the Google logo to access the drop down menu.  
 
- Choose the Clear Search History option. This will clear all the
previous searches out of the drop down box.
 
Note: this clears your Toolbar's search history, which is different
from clearing your browser's search history. To clear your Internet
Explorer browser's history:
  
- Click the browser's Tools menu.  
- Select Internet Options... (the last entry in the list).  
- Click the General tab.  
- Click the Clear History button. To completely disable the history
function, change the "Days to keep pages in history" to 0 (zero.)
