However, the information can be not suitable for multiple users and some will want to remove the Autofill entries from Google Chrome.

This method is for removing the specific Autofill entries in a specific search engine or website.

  1. Open the Google Chrome browser and click on the Search bar. Now try typing something and check the Autofill suggestions that show below.
