By It really bugs me sometimes knowing that I can’t clear the search history in the Android Market. Well luckily I came across this free app called “HistoryEraser” by DUMAPIC (who is also the Dev of OperaBridge) which does just that – deletes the Android market history – and without the need for root.
Usually – as far as I could tell – you couldn’t delete the history of the market without factory resetting your phone so this is real handy. I’m not sure if this works for any version of Android above 1.6 but leave a comment confirming and tell us so we can update the article!
If you’re on Android 1.5 (Cupcake) you have to download “MarketHistoryEraser”
Appbrain Link ~ Or you can scan the QR code below
If you’re on 1.6 (Donut) Download “HistoryEraser”
AppBrain Link -> or scan the QR code below
P.S This app can also easily delete your call log, contacts (not recommended!), default browser history, google map search history and search shortcuts.
Enjoy & Thank you Dev DUMAPIC!
Tried HistoryEraser on my Moto Droid and it worked just fine. Nice little app to get rid of the annoying mkt history!!
Worked just fine the Droid INC with2.1
very cool indeed! thanks carl!
YEP, it works on 2.1 also, you just have to hunt a little to find the market search delete. It is under the Google Apps tab on the home screen.
Just installed “HistoryEraser” on my 2.1 (Rooted) Droid, and it worked fine.
You’re*
How can you get it right and then wrong?
Thanks for pointing that out! :@
This worked great on my AT&T N1…finally got rid of all those porn searches left by my girlfriend. ;-)
LOL @ Don_TX
Couldn’t you just go to manage apps from settings and clear market cache? That’s what I do for market and browser. Wifey searching that damn porn ; )
Works on 2.1
Works on 2.1 Droid Incredible. Thanks!
Clearing the market cache didn’t seem to do anything, but when I cleared the data it worked.
On N1, 2.2
HistoryEraser no longer appears in the Market when you upgrade to 2.2 Froyo (even tried the QR codes – not the ones listed above, but the one for Eclair).
Any idea how I can get this without going through the Market?
do not even see the ap in the market. Nexus 2.2
Works on Htc hero 2.1.
Works on my moto devour with 1.6 thanks ive been looking for a way to clear the history.
Quick question: Anyone else on 2.2 not able to see it?
Wow. I’ve been trying to figure this out all weekend, and finally I found the app…should have read this article sooner.
Wicked, Does what it says on the tin! WORKs perfectly on HTC hero, no fuss! well done
Just dowloaded MarketSearchEraser on my Motorola Cliq xt and it worked. Didnt delete anything but the previous searches in the Apps Market.
Downloaded from Android Market. Worked Great. Will try Google Maps when I have some searches I don’t need anymore. It was difficult to find out how to that.
Worked flawlessly on Driod Incrd. Thanks
Worked perfect on my Evo 4G. Thanks for the info.
had this on droid 2.1 it worked great..rooted my phone and went to 2.2 and cant find it..wish i had it my maps search is getting long
Google searched how to clear market search results – found this article – tried in on my droid – it worked. Thanks to carl for composing the article and of course to the developer for fixing something on my droid that should not have required an app.
How do I delete this annoying app on my phone called love position it’s not on my downloads!
Worked flawlessly on my Evo 4g, thanks
Worked well to erase the market history on 2.1 Droid X!
Would love to be able to remove “stuck” apps in the market – those that downloaded but did not complete purchase due to Google Checkout errors and are thus blocked from re-downloading. Any hope for an addition of this to the list?
Thnks. This helped alot
I just downloaded and used Market History Manager on my Droid X and it rocks! Easier than on a PC, and it’s free!
Worked on my HTC EVO 4G. Thanks.

@ g1andonly: “Couldn’t you just go to manage apps from settings and clear market cache?”.
Sir, I salute you! Why download this app when you can just do this through settings? Surprised someone didn’t stumble onto this solution earlier.
“HistoryEraser” worked perfectly on my X10 Mini Pro, android version 2.1.
Thanks very much :D
And no, my history would not delete through settings and clearing Android Market’s cache.
On the HTC 4G EVO, the google magnifying glass in the bottom right-hand corner, anybody know who to delete that history when googled that way instead of the internet?
Works great(:
If you cany find it in the market, I bet fourshared has it. Look up’history eraser.apk” (:
Thank you, thank you, thank you…
Wanted to show off my new computer, but my search history was way toooooo embarrassing! oooops!
