Samsung or Google saving recent searches. Even though My Activity is paused

[Android Central Question]

I have a Samsung note 8 and no matter which browser i use, my google.searches are save even though I paused.it in My Activity. You searched for this before.. When I click on the sesrch box on my browser home page, which is google,
all my recent searches come up. I can delete them, but they keep on being saved. Anyway to stop this? If I click on the "x" to individually delete one of the recently search ed items I get this message. "Deleting(recent search) from your history will. Permanently remove it from your device" Samsung internet and Dolphin are doing the same.. Any way to stop recent searches from being saved?
