If you delete items and they still show up in My Activity:

• Clear your browser's cache and cookies. Learn how to clear cache and cookies in Chrome. If you use another browser, check its instructions for how to clear cache and cookies.

Not all of the activity that's saved to your account shows up in My Activity. For example, if you've turned on Location History, that activity is saved to your Maps Timeline instead.
