How to delete youtube history permanently from google account

Google probably knows more about you than yourself. Every single search you have made on YouTube — even those embarrassing ones you would like to keep a secret — are being recorded by the search giant. Now imagine someone gets to know you about your dirty secrets, the damage to your image will be irredeemable.

The only way to save yourself from humiliation is to become more vigilant about your YouTube privacy settings. If you watch YouTube videos on an Android smartphone, tablet, iPhone or web, there is a way to clear your search and watch history.
