How to clear autocomplete data in Chrome – Easy Steps

Browsers have all kinds of features, and autocomplete is a useful and sometimes dangerous feature. You can store form data, including usernames, emails, addresses, credit card information, and more. It is useful if you often fill out forms online, but it is dangerous if you accidentally enter your credit card information in the wrong field.

Clear Chrome autocomplete data

Chrome accumulates autocomplete data over time. As you use the browser, it will start saving the form data when you complete it. This will include home and shipping addresses, zip codes, zip codes, and more. Chrome groups the information, for example, it knows which email is connected to a particular address and zip code. All you need to do is select the correct data set and it will be entered.

You can always edit this information and if it is incorrect or out of date, you can remove it.

conclusion

Autocomplete data is the type of data that is synced if you connect a Google account to Chrome. If you don’t connect a Google account, the data is stored locally. If you remove and reinstall Chrome, the data may still be present. This is because removing or uninstalling Chrome doesn’t delete the profile folder it creates for you. If you are looking to completely remove it from your local drive, you should also remove the Chrome profile folders.
