(example: if I search for “how do I reset my password”, the google search box will automatically offer a list of everything I’ve searched for beginning with “how do I”)
click on the google search box, scroll on the first word you want deleted then hit the delete key.
sometimes when you just click on the box, the list comes up. Just highlight(one by one) the search you want to erase and press the delete key on the keyboard…
Bob is correct…
go to internet options and delete your history
First you should turn off your Google autofill:
Go to Settings (far right) –>Options–>Uncheck Autofill
