I don't know if the API supports deletion... but you can delete the entire history manually. There's also a way to pause history collection.</p> <p>But yeah, it's all very, very hazy right now. And since this is such a sensitive issue, I think Google could do much better in terms of making what's going on clear to the user. Maybe the Google Toolbar could have a visual indicator that history collection is active, and have a button to quickly pause it.</p> Wow, that’s scary.

From this little gem here:

http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=54067&ctx=sibling

It says:

“I didn’t sign up for Web History; why do I have it?

When you create a Google Account, you automatically gain access to a number of Google services, including Web History, Google Calendar, Google Spreadsheets, Google Alerts, and iGoogle. If you’d like to delete the Web History service from your Google Account, click the “My Account” link from the Google homepage and click “Edit” next to “My services.” Then select “Delete Web History.” Make sure you’re signed in to your Google Account to see the “My Account” link.”

IOW, all you have to do is to forget to sign out from GMail and keep searching…

Has anyone figured out how to use the Google API to delete Web History?
