What will happen if you will delete all of your Google History?

If you are deleting all of your history then keep in mind the following points. 1.If all of the Google history is deleted then the Google suggestions for that account will be affected. 2.If you delete the whole activity for all time then your Youtube Recommendations will be random and you probably won’t be able to see in recommendations what you like. You again have to build that recommendation system by viewing the content that you like the most. 3.Also, Google search experience will be not good. Google gives personalized results to every user based on their interest and the number of times they visit a page. For example, if you visit a page too often for solutions let it be com then when you search for a solution on Google then the first link will be of abc.com as Google knows that you visit this page a lot probably because you like the content on that page. 4.If you delete your activity then Google will present the links for your search as it provides to a new user. 5.Deleting the activity will also delete the Geographical information of your system which Google has. Google provides result based on Geographical locations also, if you delete the location information then you won’t get the same results which you used to get before deleting the activity. 6.Therefore, it is recommended that you delete your Activity after thinking twice that you really want to do it or not as it will affect your Google and its related services experience.
