Click delete and you have successfully deleted your location data. Location History also assists you to get the required information and data by creating a private map showing the places you visit with your logged-in devices. To generate and keep your moving history, Google will constantly attain location data from your devices, even when you are not using a particular Google product.

Those who have multiple Google accounts can switch between the accounts using the drop-down shown just below the Location History title on top. Repeat the same to Delete Location History for all other Google accounts.
