Delete autofill entries one at a time or clear them all at once

Chrome stores the information you type into forms — names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses — to fill them in faster next time. You can remove individual entries as you type, or delete your entire autofill history from settings. The fastest method depends on whether you want to keep some saved information and remove only specific entries, or start fresh.

If you notice Chrome suggesting something you do not want saved, you can reject it right there in the form field. For a complete wipe of all autofill data, you go through Chrome's settings menu and clear it alongside other browsing data.

Key Takeaways

  • Hover over an autofill suggestion as you type and press Delete or Backspace to remove just that one entry.
  • Go to Settings > Autofill and passwords > Addresses and more to see all saved addresses, phone numbers, and emails, then delete individual ones.
  • Clear all autofill data at once through Settings > Delete browsing data, selecting "Autofill form data" and your time range.
  • Turning off autofill in Settings > Autofill and passwords prevents Chrome from suggesting saved information in the future.

Remove a single autofill entry while typing

The quickest way to delete one autofill suggestion is to reject it the moment Chrome offers it. When you start typing in a form field and Chrome shows a dropdown with saved information, highlight the entry you want to remove and press the Delete key (or Backspace on Mac). The suggestion disappears immediately and Chrome stops offering it in that field.

This method works for any autofill category — addresses, names, phone numbers, or email addresses. You do not need to open settings or navigate anywhere else. The entry is gone from Chrome's memory after you delete it this way.

Delete autofill entries from Chrome settings

To see all your saved autofill information and remove specific entries, open Chrome and click the three-line menu in the top right corner. Select Settings, then Autofill and passwords in the left sidebar. You will see options for Addresses and more, Payment methods, and Passwords.

Click Addresses and more to view every saved address, phone number, and email address. Hover over any entry and click the three-dot menu that appears, then select Delete. Repeat for each entry you want to remove. This approach lets you keep some saved information while removing only the entries you no longer need.

For payment method autofill, click Payment methods instead and delete saved credit card or debit card information the same way. Each category is separate, so removing an address does not affect your saved payment methods.

Clear all autofill data at once

If you want to delete everything Chrome has saved for forms, use the browsing data tool. Click the three-line menu, select Settings, then click Delete browsing data in the left sidebar (or press Ctrl+Shift+Delete on Windows, Command+Shift+Delete on Mac).

A window opens with options for what to clear. Make sure Autofill form data is checked. You can also choose your time range — All time clears everything, while Last hour, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 4 weeks, or Last 3 months remove only recent entries. Click Delete data and all autofill information in that time period is removed.

This action also clears cookies, browsing history, and cached images if those boxes are checked. Uncheck anything you want to keep before clicking Delete data.

Turn off autofill to stop Chrome from saving form information

You can disable autofill entirely so Chrome stops saving what you type into forms. Go to Settings > Autofill and passwords and toggle off Save and fill addresses, Save and fill payment methods, or both, depending on what you want to stop saving.

Turning off these toggles prevents Chrome from suggesting saved information in the future, but it does not delete what is already saved. If you want to both disable autofill and remove existing data, delete your autofill entries first, then turn off the toggles.

You can also control autofill on a per-site basis. Some websites let you disable autofill in their own settings, which overrides Chrome's autofill behavior on that site alone.

Autofill in Chrome on your phone

On Android, open Chrome and tap the three-dot menu, then Settings > Autofill and passwords > Addresses and more. Tap an entry and select Delete. On iPhone, the process is the same: Settings > Autofill and passwords > Addresses and more, then swipe left on an entry and tap Delete.

To clear all autofill data on mobile, go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data, check Autofill form data, choose your time range, and tap Clear browsing data.

What happens to autofill data when you sync across devices

If you are signed into the same Google account on multiple devices, your autofill information syncs across them. Deleting an entry on your computer removes it from your phone and tablet too. This is useful if you want to clean up saved information everywhere at once, but it also means you cannot keep different autofill data on different devices.

You can turn off sync for autofill data specifically. Go to Settings > Sync and Google services and toggle off Autofill. This stops Chrome from syncing addresses, payment methods, and passwords across your devices, though each device keeps its own local autofill data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does deleting autofill data also delete my saved passwords?

No. Autofill form data (addresses, phone numbers, emails, payment methods) is separate from passwords. Deleting autofill information does not affect your saved passwords. To remove passwords, go to Settings > Autofill and passwords > Passwords and delete them separately.

Can I delete autofill data without clearing my browsing history?

Yes. Use the Delete browsing data tool and uncheck everything except Autofill form data before clicking Delete data. This removes only autofill information and leaves your history, cookies, and cached files intact.

Why does Chrome keep suggesting an address I deleted?

If a suggestion reappears after you delete it, Chrome may have synced it back from another device where it still exists. Check your other devices and delete the entry there too. You can also turn off sync for autofill to prevent this.

Will disabling autofill make Chrome slower?

No. Turning off autofill has no effect on Chrome's speed. It only stops Chrome from storing and suggesting form information. The browser runs the same whether autofill is on or off.
