Chrome’s autofill feature is super handy for quickly filling out forms. It remembers things like payment info, addresses, contact details, and usernames.
But, it can get messy when multiple people share a Chrome account, or when your saved data gets jumbled up.
You’ve got options: you can wipe all autofill data at once, or remove specific categories based on what you need. I’ll cover both ways to give you the best approach.
Method 1: Clear all autofill entries at once
Here’s how to delete all your saved autofill data in one go.
- On the Chrome home page, click the three dots menu, hover over “More tools,” and then click “Clear browsing data.” This opens a new tab.
- Make sure you’re on the “Advanced” tab. Select the checkboxes next to “Passwords and other sign-in data” and “Autofill form data.” Deselect any other categories if you want. Then, click the “Clear data” button.
Method 2: Delete autofill information by category
The method above is great for a complete clean-up, but sometimes you just want to delete certain types of info. Here’s how to clear autofill info on a category-by-category basis:
To delete saved passwords:
- From Chrome’s home page, click the three dots menu, then select “Settings”.
- In the left sidebar, click “Autofill”.
- Then, click on “Password Manager”.
- Now you can search for a specific website using the search bar or scroll through the list.
- Once you find the website you want, click the three dots icon, and select “Remove”.
To delete payment methods:
- Go to the “Autofill” tab in Settings.
- Click on “Payment methods”.
- Find the payment method you want to remove and click the three dots next to it.
- Click “Remove”.
To remove saved addresses:
- From the “Autofill” page, click on “Addresses and more”.
- Find the address you want to remove and click the three dots menu next to the entry.
- Click “Remove”.
These methods should be really helpful if you’ve got extra autofill entries or mixed up values that you need to sort out.
