Any search engine maintains the history of your searches by default. This is done with the aim of providing information in the future during search results. The history of searches is stored on your computer and on the remote servers of the company. And if removal from servers is impossible, then clearing the story from your device is quite simple and fast.
The reason for the need to delete can be any need, ranging from the banal cleaning of the computer, and ending with the hidden of certain personal data from third parties. Therefore, we will talk below how to delete the search history in Yandex.
How to delete history in Yandex?
I would also like to note at the very beginning that it is even necessary to delete history in Yandex or any other browser over time. After all, how not to twist, and all cookies (cookies) and cache (Cache) occupy the system memory of the disk. And this over time will begin to influence the quality and speed of work on the Internet and not only.
Important: for effective protection of personal data, you can Use the incognito mode. This is a completely private regime, which is called differently in various browsers. But it exists everywhere in order to exclude the preservation of personal information (passwords, logins, history) in the browser and on the computer. Accordingly, if the other person decides to use this browser, then he will not see the history of your searches or personal information.
If you did not use such an option in the browser and hear about it for the first time, and information of a confidential nature has already been preserved - you need to be able to delete it correctly. By the way, sometimes the necessary links after accidental closure in incognito mode will be removed irrevocably. Therefore, using it is not always convenient. In general, how many situations - how many ways to use a browser, but back to its purification.
To delete the history of Yandex, you need to follow the next standard action algorithm
- Open the browser and go to any Yandex page. In the upper right corner, find three horizontal dashes, as shown in the lower photo.
- After that, go to the settings and go in the upper line on the “History” button, which is in the 3rd score. And here there is a small separation.
- If you need to delete only selectively some saved sites, Then just put checks opposite each event. And after all the marks, click on “delete the selected elements” and “delete” as confirmation of your action.
- Also, if you fall into the very bottom of the page, you can edit the story that was “earlier” or “later”.
- If you need to delete the whole story in Yandex, Then in the upper right corner, under the search line, find the inscription "Clean history." After clicking, redirecting to another page with removal settings occurs.
Important: be careful - in standard cleaning, the browser deleys all saved files or passwords. If you do not need this option, then do not forget to remove the corresponding checkmark. In the future, this information is remembered. But it can always be adjusted.
- You can choose the period for which you need to clean. There are options for an hour, day, week, month or the entire period. Please note that the time for processing will be directly proportional to the selected segment.
- And now you only need to confirm your decision to delete the story in Yandex, pressing the "clear history." This can take from a couple of seconds to several minutes. After all, removal directly depends on the degree of “clogging” of the browser and the frequency of using this function.
Removing history in Yandex through a new page
- It is necessary to open exactly a new, previously not loaded page. And in the very center, under the top line of search or panel of bookmarks (depending on your saved data), find the inscription "Recent closed".
- After the click, the message of the sites visited will be highlighted, and there will be “the whole story” below. Hint - on the left will be the inscription "Turn on synchronization."
- After this transition, you will only need to follow the last points of the above information with the “cleansing of history”.
How to delete the story in Yandex on a phone or tablet?
- In principle, the algorithm is the same, but the name and the emblem change slightly. For example, instead of dashes, you need to press the gear, which implies settings, and go to "Privacy".
- And then you act according to the same scheme - mark the necessary lines with ticks or select all the data and click “Clean history”.
Important: in order not to cleanse the story each time, in confidential settings, remove the checkmark opposite the column “Save history”.
After performing these actions, the entire preserved story will be completely removed from the browser and computer or phone. As you can see, the removal of history in Yandex is a simple process, and does not take much time.
