    You can. You can also delete all the data at once.

    woah, really ?
    That i did not know. How do you delete all your data at once.

    EDIT: In settings you can do this while in the history page.

    VERY NICE!

    With a quick delete-all link I understand doing this every so often but I can't figure out why I would waste hours of my time doing this if I had to do them 30 at a time. What are you afraid of?

    Of course I have crazy/awful looking searches in my history- but that is because you don't know the context. No one goes around arresting people for the content of their Google search history- and while people may get government attention based on their searches (think searching for backpacks and pressure cookers after the Boston bombing) surely they get that info regardless of whether Google collects your history or you delete it.
