Go to 'My Google Activity'.

Click 'Search Services History'

Once your click it, I think it should show you your history by default (the heading should say 'Search Services History'), but if you're in 'Search Services History Settings', click 'View and delete saved history'.

From there, look through the different sections and look for images, audio, videos, files, etc. If you find any, delete them. This feature seems pretty new (as of writing), and the article is from June 10, so I don't think you have to go TOO far back.

Google's article about Save Media says this:

[Begin quote:] Some activity, like AI Mode or Ask Maps threads, contain links to the product where you can view interactions that include media like file uploads. [End quote. ]

[Begin quote:] My Activity may display thumbnails of images or videos you've viewed on Search services. These thumbnails aren’t considered your media and so are not covered by your Save Media subsetting. [End quote. ]

After you're done deleting media, click the button that says 'Your Search Services History setting is off/on'.

If 'Save Media' is on, uncheck it. IIRC, it should be already off if you have search history off, otherwise it's on by default.

This will display some disclaimers. I recommend reading the disclaimers (including what's under the 'Learn More' which is pretty much a read more) if you're able to. It's where I found that thing about the training data being kept for up to 4 years.

Anyways, to turn off Save Media, scroll to the bottom of the disclaimers, and you should see the 'Turn off' button turn clickable. If you click it, you've now turned off Save Media! Woohoo!!!

Here's more info about how Save Media works (from this Google article again):

[Begin quote:] What your media includes Your saved media includes your images, files, and audio and video recordings from your interactions with Search services. This includes things like Google Lens images, recordings from Search Live or Translate speaking practice, content you upload, and voice searches. Saved media doesn’t include media that you generate or modify with AI. It also doesn’t include media you share publicly on Search services, like photos added to your reviews. If your media is saved when the Save Media subsetting is on, it’ll be shown in your Search Services History. You may need to expand an activity event or click a link to the original thread in products like AI Mode or Ask Maps to see full details. You can stop saving your media with your history at any time. If you stop saving media, your existing text-based history, transcripts, and generative AI media responses will continue to be saved to your Search Services History. Learn how to find and delete your Search Services History. [End quote. ]

[Begin quote:] When the Save Media subsetting is on When the Save Media subsetting is on, Google can save media from your interactions to your Search Services History. Learn more about what your media includes. If you use your device without an internet connection, media may be saved in your Google Account once you go online. If you previously opted-in to donate your image search history to improve Google services with the help of human reviewers, image donation will continue. Learn more about image search history donation. [End quote. ]

[Begin quote:] When the Save Media subsetting is off When the Save Media subsetting is off, Google won’t save media as part of your Search Services History. Media from your future interactions with Search services will still be used to respond to you and help keep Google safe, but will not be used to train Google’s generative AI models, unless you provide feedback. When you turn off the Save Media subsetting: This doesn’t turn off Search Services History, which can still save your activity on Google Search services. This includes text-based history, transcripts from voice interactions, and generative AI media responses. Previously saved media that you do not delete can still be used to improve Google technologies. You can delete previously saved media in your Search Services History at activity.google.com. Saved media that has already been selected to train AI models is no longer connected to your account and is kept for up to 4 years, even if you delete the original activity. Tip: If you got your Google Account through your educational institution, Google does not use your Search Services History data, including your saved media, to train generative AI models. [End quote. ]

[Begin quote:] Other places media may be saved This Save Media subsetting doesn’t affect media saved and managed by other Google services, like: Gemini Apps Google Voice NotebookLM YouTube It also doesn’t include media that you post or share publicly on Search services, such as reviews. Tip: Media that you generate or modify with AI isn’t covered by your Save Media subsetting and is controlled by Search Services History. [End quote. ]

Here's more from the disclaimers. Some of it is a little redundant, but I thought it made things more specific:

[Begin quote:] Any media that you post publicly, including reviews, info, and any links that you share with others, is not included in this setting. This setting does not affect data that is not part of Search Services History, like data from other settings or features. For example, photos you upload as part of reviews in Google Maps and videos you create with other Google services, like YouTube, are not included. [End quote. ]

[Begin quote:] Text-based history, transcripts, and generative AI media responses from your interactions with Search services will still be retained and used if your Search Services History setting is on. [End quote. ]
