How to delete autofill entries on Google Chrome

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.

In this guide, you will learn 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.
