      Thank you!

      I wouldn't have thought of looking there. I wonder why it's there.

      In fact, typing privacy in the search box of System Settings didn't pick that up. It only found the one relating to Canonical's data collection.

        I just groogled* around a bit for it

        * Groogling is what pigs do when rummaging around in the dirt for scraps of food - in an obscure Betelgeusian dialect, as translated by the babel fish.

            But I'm not sure it does what OP wants...

            On Kubuntu 19.10 (Minimal Install option with only Enable File Search enabled and with no Activities set up other than the default one) I went into System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Activities > Privacy. In there, with "Keep history" set to "Forever", I chose "Forget everything" under "Clear History" and got a banner with "Cleared the activity history."

            The timelines in Dolphin appear thusly:
            Recent Files >>> emptied (but previously had content) so this one works
            Recent Locations >>> unchanged compared to before clearing history
            Today >>> unchanged compared to before clearing history
            Yesterday >>> unchanged compared to before clearing history


            And here's someone who can't get it to work in Kubuntu 18.04 (or even in Manjaro in a comment at the end).
