But a new tool called My Activity makes it easier than ever to see what information Google is stockpiling about you — and delete things you'd rather it forget. Google probably knows you better than your closest friends and family. From there, you can tell Google to stop saving information about things such as your searches, location history and YouTube watching habits. It's basically a timeline that shows you what Google has saved about your online activities going back as far as Google has been tracking them. Select the delete option on that menu, and voila — Google will forget it!
