Deleting Checked Items from Google Keep: A Step-by-Step Guide
Hey there, fellow Keep user! Today, I want to share with you a handy trick that will make your experience with Google Keep even better. I’m going to walk you through the simple process of deleting those completed tasks on your list. So, let’s get started!
First things first, open up Google Keep on your preferred device. It could be your phone, tablet, or computer – whatever you’re comfortable with.
Now, take a look at your list. I’m sure you already know this, but just to be clear, the checked items are the ones you’ve completed. They are satisfaction personified! But, let’s face it, it’s time to bid them adieu and make room for new tasks.
Next, find the checked item you want to delete. Hover your cursor over it, and you’ll notice a little gray box will appear in the corner. That’s your ticket to deletion!
Once you’ve located the box, go ahead and click on it. Voila! The checked item will magically become selected, and you’ll see a blue toolbar appear at the top of the screen.
In this toolbar, amidst other options, you’ll spot a trash can icon. It’s not rocket science to guess what that does! Give it a click, and watch as the checked item disappears into the digital abyss.
Take a moment to admire your decluttered list. Ah, satisfaction! But don’t stop here. If you have more completed tasks to bid farewell to, simply repeat steps 4 and 5 until you’ve achieved organizational nirvana.
Now you know the secret to clearing your checked items on Google Keep. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it keeps your list looking fresh and tidy. So go forth, my friend, and conquer your tasks with the knowledge that you can easily delete them when you’re done. Happy organizing!
I love the feeling of accomplishment when I check off tasks from my to-do list at the end of a long day. Google Keep makes that experience just as fulfilling as crossing items off with a red pen. Some people prefer to focus on their daily wins, while others find them distracting and want to concentrate on new tasks.
If your list has become too lengthy, as often happens with shopping lists, you may want to remove the checked items. Luckily, this is the perfect place to learn some handy tricks.

What Really Happens When You Check a Checkbox?
Have you ever wondered what happens when you check a checkbox? It may not be something you think about often, unless you accidentally check it or you’ve completed a task on your list. But believe it or not, checking that little box actually triggers a series of actions in Google Keep.
When you check a checkbox in Google Keep, it’s like giving a signal to the app that you’ve finished that particular task. But instead of simply disappearing from your view, the checked item is cleverly moved to the bottom of your list. This way, the task is still there, but it doesn’t distract you from the items that still need your attention.
Now, what if you want to get rid of those checked items altogether? Well, you have a couple of options. First, you can delete them. Just follow the same steps we mentioned earlier. But if you don’t want to completely erase them from existence, you can choose to hide them instead.
To hide the checked items, all you have to do is scroll to the bottom of your list and click on the arrow sign. This will archive your completed tasks under the name “Checked items,” which you’ll find at the bottom. It’s like putting them in a virtual storage box. And if you ever want to see those items again, simply click the arrow sign once more, and voila! They’ll reappear on your list, ready to be acknowledged.
Can I Uncheck All Items in Google Keep?
Yes, you can. If you want to remove the checkboxes while keeping the items on your list, there’s a simple way to do it. Here’s what you need to do:
- Open your list.
- Access the menu (on your phone: tap the three small dots; on your desktop: click the menu button).
- Select the “Uncheck all items” option.
That’s it! This feature comes in handy for daily to-do lists. Instead of creating a new list every night with the same tasks, you can simply uncheck the items and start fresh for the new day.
Alternatively, you also have the option to hide the checkboxes. Just open the menu and click on “Hide checkboxes.” This allows you to view your list with greater clarity, and you can bring back the checkboxes whenever you want.
