1. Find the Twitter URL and copy it. You can find it at the location bar

2. Open the Google content removal page

4. Click on the 'Create a new removal request' button

5. Paste the link

6. On the next page, clear cached content. It will clear all the information that is associated with Twitter. You can only do this if you provide some information that is in the cached version and not in the live version

8. There will be a status page with the details of your request

9. Note that your request may not always be successful. You may try again later

Keep in mind that the changes you make will only be effective moving forward. Everything that you posted previously may still be visible on your Google search. It may not be the best choice if you are looking for a quick way to get rid of your Twitter posts from your Google search results.

Twitter allows you to protect your privacy. You can use a nickname rather than your real name. With a nickname, only close friends will be able to identify you. However, that may not be enough privacy for you.

Contacting the Support Team

If you need any additional help, you may contact the Google support team and ask for help. The best way to contact Google is on the phone. It is a quick way to get help and you get to speak directly with an agent. The support agents are friendly and respectful. They will help you remove your Twitter account from your Google search as soon as possible. Phone support is the only option to speak directly with an agent.

Consider contacting Google on Facebook/Messenger if you don't necessarily need to speak with an agent. With Facebook/Messenger, you may seek support in private or in public depending on your needs. You can get support from the customer service team or other Google users. If the support agents can't help you on Facebook, they may direct you to contact them on the phone.

The Google help desk is a great support platform. It has plenty of targeted tips and suggestions that may answer your question. It is the first support option for many Google users. Consider seeking support on the help desk before exploring other options. If you end up going back and forth with the support agents, they may direct you to contact them on the phone.
