How to Delete Your Personal Info from Google Search – Google’s New Tool Explained

[Sysop]

Ever searched your name on Google and found your phone number, email, or old addresses just sitting there for the world to see? You’re not alone. If you want to remove personal details from Google search results, there’s now an easier way.

Google has rolled out a tool that lets you request the removal of personal info—like your contact details, old addresses, or even data linked to family members. This means if someone looks you up, those details won’t appear in search results anymore.

What You Can Remove from Google Search

• Your name, phone number, email, and home address
• Sensitive details showing up in search results for family members
• Outdated or incorrect personal information

While this won’t erase your details from the original websites, it will make them harder to find through Google.

How to Request Removal

• Search your name + phone number, email, or old address
• Click on the result you want gone
• Select “Remove Result”
• Follow the prompts to submit your request
