Clear autofill form data - Google Chrome

Question

Using Chrome Version 74.0.3729.157 ("re-launched" today, 5/13/2019). Wish to clear autofill FORM data. when I go to Settings, Advanced, Clear browsing history; Autofill form data IS checked but, clicking "Clear Data" doesn't do the job. Oddly, supposedly there are NONE to clear. However, there are indeed NUMEROUS autofill "suggestions" every time I click in any form field. Been searching online for help/answers to no avail. Every suggestion, except what I've tried per above, leads nowhere. Most suggestions are outdated anyway.....difficult to sort through & find anything current/pertinent. Areas supposedly present just aren't such as; "Manage autofill settings" ("old"). At least, would be nice to know it is no longer possible: though cannot believe it. Thanks.

Answer 1

If you have participated into Google sync service, you might need to turn it off first, clear 'Auto-fill form data' under "Clear browsing History", then re-check if problem persist.

Or if you need to manually remove unnecessary auto-fill data: http://osxdaily.com/2018/07/20/how-delete-chrome-autofill-suggetsions/

Answer 2

The page How to Delete Specific Chrome Autofill Suggestions shows these steps that worked well to manually remove unnecessary auto-fill data.

1. Open the related website which has a form entry where autofill suggestions appear
2. Start typing so that the suggestion shows up as an option in Chrome
3. Using the keyboard arrows, navigate down the suggestion list to the item(s) you want to remove from the Chrome autofill suggestions

4. With the suggestion highlighted, use the appropriate keystroke sequence to delete the Chrome suggestion:

   • a. Mac: Shift + FN + Delete
   • b. Windows: Shift + Delete
   • c. Chromebook / Chrome OS: Alt + Shift + Delete
5. Repeat with other suggestions to delete if desired

You should be able to turn it off in Settings. Go to the 3 dots in top right corner, then click settings and Autofill should be an option. If not, search for it in settings. It should allow you to turn it off for several things like addresses, payment information, etc.
