How your activity is deleted When you choose to delete activity manually or activity is deleted automatically based on your auto-delete setting, we immediately start the process of removing it from the product and our systems. First, we aim to immediately remove it from view and the data may no longer be used to tailor your Google experience. We then begin a process designed to safely and completely delete the data from our storage systems. Along with helping you delete data manually or automatically, Google may delete some types of activity sooner when it’s no longer useful to improve your experience. For limited purposes, like business or legal requirements, Google may retain certain types of data for an extended period of time. Deleting your Maps history won’t affect things like: Visits from your Timeline Other history, such as related searches or website clicks Saved lists or labels you added Reviews, photos, edits, or feedback reports you submitted Other Maps data not associated with your account Related resources Learn to find and control your web app activity Learn to find and improve your location’s accuracy Was this helpful?
