Google Chrome, by default, can offer to save various types of personal information, such as mailing addresses, phone numbers, emails, payment methods, and passwords for online services, so that the next time the data can fill automatically.
However, sometimes, you may need to delete this information because you initially typed it wrong, it’s no longer valid, or you don’t want the browser to remember a specific piece of information.

Google Chrome
includes settings to add, edit, and remove autofill data. You can even turn off the feature to prevent the browser from offering to save specific information.
This
guide
will teach you the steps to delete entries from the autofill database stored on Google Chrome. You will also learn the instructions to add autofill entries in the browser.
