Delete Your Pinterest Search History
Pins show what you saved. Searches show what you went looking for, and Pinterest keeps the recent ones on your account, ready to appear under the search box. Redact works through that history and deletes it in one run.

Why clear it
What you searched says more than what you saved
Searches are typed in private
A board gets a tidy name and a cover. A search is whatever you typed at the time, health worries and gift ideas included.
They come back on screen
Recent searches are offered again when the search box is opened, wherever your account is logged in.
A shared device shares them
Anyone who borrows a laptop or tablet that's logged in to your Pinterest can see them too.
How the run works
Pinterest shows a few at a time, so Redact keeps going
Pinterest only reveals a limited batch of your recent searches at once. Older ones appear as the newer ones are deleted. A Delete run handles that for you. It clears the batch it can see, checks again, clears what surfaced, and stops when nothing is left. For the same reason, Preview and Review & Delete can only show the first batch and not the full history.
- Whole history
- Batch after batch
- No filters to set
- On-device
Run modes
What each mode can and can't show you
Preview Mode
Lists the recent searches Pinterest is showing right now and deletes nothing. It's a sample of the history, not all of it.
Review & Delete
Lets you tick searches from that same first batch. Good for removing a handful of recent ones.
Deletion Mode
Clears the full history. There are no date or keyword filters on this tab, so every search goes.
Schedule Deletion
Repeats the clear-out on a timetable, so the history doesn't build back up.

How to clear your Pinterest search history
There's nothing to configure, so this one is short.
- 1
Install Redact
Download for your device →Download it from redact.dev/download for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- 2

It's the last of the four Pinterest tabs, and it has no filters to fill in.
Heads up: Search History is a Premium tab.

Run Deletion Mode
Start the run and leave it going. It deletes the searches Pinterest shows, then the older ones that surface, until the list comes back empty.
What you searched for stays between you and Pinterest
The run happens inside Redact, on your own device. Your search terms aren't uploaded to Redact's servers, and you can disconnect Pinterest whenever you like.

Frequently asked questions
Pinterest only reveals a limited batch of recent searches at a time, and older ones appear as newer ones are deleted. Preview and Review & Delete show that first batch. Deletion Mode keeps going until the whole history is clear.
Partly. Review & Delete lets you tick searches from the batch Pinterest is showing. There's no date or keyword filter for search history, and Deletion Mode clears everything.
Redact's free tier covers your last 30 days, and Pinterest doesn't give searches a date. With no date to check, search history sits on Premium at any age.
Redact removes the searches from your account. What Pinterest does with its recommendations after that is up to Pinterest, so we can't promise a change.
Sometimes Pinterest is slow to refresh the list after a batch is deleted, and Redact stops instead of guessing. Run it again and it carries on with whatever is left.
