How to delete all your Google Maps reviews at once
Old reviews you'd rather not have under your name? Here's what Google lets you do, and the faster way when there are dozens of them.
Short answer: Google Maps has no "delete all reviews" button. You can delete reviews one at a time from Your contributions on a computer or in the app. To delete many at once, a browser extension such as Mapwand can work through the list for you, clicking the same delete buttons you would.
Before you delete anything
- It's permanent. A deleted review can't be restored, and any photos you attached to it are deleted too.
- Local Guides points. If you're a Local Guide, you'll likely lose the points those reviews earned.
- Keep a copy if you want one. Google Takeout can export your reviews - select "Maps (your places)".
- Give it a moment. It can take a little while for a deleted review to disappear from a place's page everywhere.
Method 1: delete reviews one by one
Fine for a handful of reviews. Google moves these menus around now and then, so the labels may differ slightly.
On a computer
- Open Google Maps and sign in.
- Open the menu (☰) at the top left, or click your profile picture, and choose Your contributions. You can also go straight to
google.com/maps/contrib. - Select the Reviews tab.
- Next to a review, click More (the three dots) and choose Delete review.
- Confirm, then repeat for the next one.
On a phone (Android or iPhone)
- Open the Google Maps app and tap your profile picture.
- Tap Your profile (or Your contributions) and go to your reviews.
- Tap More (the three dots) next to a review, then Delete review, and confirm.
Each review takes about 10 to 15 seconds of menu-clicking. With 200 reviews, that's well over half an hour.
Method 2: delete them all in bulk with Mapwand
Mapwand is a Chrome extension we make for exactly this. It runs inside your own, already signed-in Google Maps tab and goes through your reviews one at a time: open the menu, click Delete, confirm, wait a moment, next. You confirm once at the start.
- Add Mapwand to Chrome (free, no account).
- Click the Mapwand icon, tick I understand and click Delete my reviews. It opens your contributions page if you're not already there.
- Confirm. You can pause, stop or close the popup at any time, and it pauses by itself if Google asks you to verify you're human.
The first 5 deletions are free, so you can see it work on your own account. Unlimited deletions are a one-time $4.99 - no subscription. Mapwand never sees your password and sends nothing about your reviews anywhere.
