iPhone 6S running iOS 11.1.1
When I go into the Maps app and press remove on an item in my search history, it reappears.
I’ve had this issue since iOS 11 was released and restarting my phone hasn’t resolved this issue for myself.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing or has experienced this and has been able to clear their Maps search history?
After struggled for couple days, I may have found the solution.
Using an iPhone with iOS 11, tap any POI (location) and then tap Directions button, then just cancel dialog (no need to tap Go button).
Keep doing above for 10 different locations, this will push all issue history data out.
Then, you CAN remove this newly added 10 locations.

When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. iTunes will try to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. Wait while iTunes downloads the software for your device. If the download takes more than 15 minutes and your device exits recovery mode, let the download finish, then repeat these steps.
You might try turning off iCloud Drive. I had set up a new iPhone X and was having this problem along with not carrying over my photos and text messages.
I rebuilt the phone and got my data but the search history problem returned. Turning of the iCloud Drive removed them immediately.
iOS 11.2.5
When you turned off the iCloud drive, did the entries disappear? If not, you may have a different situation.
The removed listings came back on my device a few days later but I have no idea from where they were archived. The only other thing I might suggest is you backup your phone to a computer and then delete the backups on iCloud.
Settings-Apple ID-iCloud then check the Manage Storage button. I cannot guarantee some data you have stored in that backup might be lost. Also, keep in mind you may have a backup containing the entries on your computer which might access your phone wirelessly although I have no proof that can happen.
Once you delete that backup try to remove the listings again and if it works, do another backup to iCloud..
Agreed, this has to be an iCloud issue. I can reproduce the issue on my MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iPad Air, and iPhone X. Went through all the tier 1 'solutions' like restoring iPhone (not from backup). Waste of time. I've sent diagnostic logs to apple support which they say they forward to the engineers. Hopefully this can be fixed at some point on the services side and all my devices will no longer have these entries reappear after attempting to delete.
Have you tried this because it seems to work for me?
settings > privacy > location services > system services > frequent locations > clear history
I am having this same issue on my 6S Plus, 11.1.2 - swiping left to remove a location and having it pop back up in the list. I've tried clearing Safari history and other possible caches. But no luck. 😠
Tried it on my iPad Pro, 11.1.2, and the swipe left remove option works perfectly.
I'm having this issue as well on my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2.6. This as to be an iCloud issue because it is easy to duplicate on my Mac. I've uploaded a video to show any Apple reps just whats happening.
Apple -
Same here. Issue is on your end with iCloud Map sync. I've reported the issue numerous time to no avail. Please fix ASAP.
Having the same issue with map. Need this Apple for the maps in my car. Have sent several emails about this issue with no reply. I wanted to delete the app because of this issue but again need it for my cars AirPlay. I hope Apple fixes this very soon. It is great except for the fact that some pins, locations can’t be deleted.
Thank you for your reply and trying to help me resolve this issue. Yes it did disappear but came back so I decided to reset my location, restart my phone etc etc and I thought so far so good until a day later when I get in my car plug my phone in, the same location that I have been trying to get rid of and did get rid of was back. Unfortunately I’m just like you trying to figure out where it is being backed up to so I don’t see how to remove it. I’m not sure at this point if even a master reset will remove it.
Hi,
Many thanks for your reply.
I tried the steps you recommended, but unfortunately, my issue still remains and I am unable to delete the map search history with them staying deleted.
same here, very strange. swipe, tap remove, it pops back up in the list.
I’m having the same issue with my iPhone SE since iOS 11.1
