Quick steps

Delete a search in three steps

  1. Search

    A word, a site:, a date range or any mix of filters.

  2. Click Delete

    In the Filters panel, or tick everything and use the bar.

  3. Confirm

    The second click deletes. There is no undo.

Before you start: add History Monk from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. The Chrome Web Store version also installs in Edge.

Step 1: Search for the pages

Type what the pages have in common. A word like lisbon finds every page about it, on every site. Add filters to narrow it down:

  • site:booking.com lisbon for one site
  • lisbon after:2026-10-01 for a date range
  • lisbon -site:wikipedia.org to keep one site out

Look through the list before you go on. Everything in it will be deleted.

Step 2: Open Filters and click Delete

Click Filters above your results. Once your search has narrowed the list, the panel shows a red Delete button with the number of pages, like Delete 31 pages.

Step 3: Confirm

The button changes to Confirm - permanently delete 31 pages. Click it to delete, or Cancel to stop.

Or keep a few pages: use Select all

To delete most of the result but not all of it:

  1. Tick any row, then click Select all in the bar at the bottom. Every result is ticked.
  2. Untick the pages you want to keep.
  3. Click Delete in the bar, then Confirm.
