For me in Firefox, I just have to use my up or down arrow keys to select what I don't want and then press Delete.

So if you're not using Firefox, then which browser are you using?

 

[paulbob]

Google Crome

I'm not sure about Google Chrome, but I recommend trying what works for me in Firefox. Use the up or down arrow keys to select, and then press the Delete key.

If pressing Delete doesn't do anything, then I'm sure there's another way.

 

[paulbob]

I did try that... nothing...

 

[TwoCables]

Oh, I just learned that you have to press Shift+Delete instead of just Delete. Try that!

 

[paulbob]

nope, it comes right back when I start to type again..

 

[TwoCables]

Wait, so selecting it and pressing Shift+Delete makes it go away but it's still there?

 

[paulbob]

After trying it several different ways, it does nothing, but after i selected it, then Shift/delete, it does go away. then when I start to type again, auto fill-in brings it right back up... :0

I wonder if that's specific to gMail and completely independent of your browser... Like, I am wondering now if this is on their end and not yours.

 

[paulbob]

Nope, bc when I use other computers with Gmail, its not there, only on this desk top computer only...

 

[TwoCables]

Hmm. Try this:

1. Click the Chrome menu
   
   on the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click Show advanced settings and find the "Passwords and forms" section.
4. Click Manage Autofill settings.
5. In the dialog that appears, select the entry you'd like to delete from the list.
6. Click the x that appears at the end of the row.

That worked out great, but only for addresses and credit card info.... no options for Email...
I work with my Gmail all the time from other devices, and they never appear, only on this computer. So I think it has to be in my windows, more then a online service like Gmail or iCloud.

Thanks for all your help!!!!

It wouldn't be under anything for "e-mail" because what you're dealing with is just form data. It's just that this text happens to be an e-mail address. It's not categorized.

This is in Google Chrome, not Windows.

Try this:

• Click the Chrome menu
  
  on the browser toolbar.
• Select Tools.
• Select Clear browsing data.
• In the dialog that appears, select the "Clear saved Autofill form data" checkbox.
• Use the menu on the top to select the amount of data you want to delete. Select the beginning of time to clear everything.
• Click Clear browsing data.

Can you believe it... STILL THERE....

 

[paulbob]

Now you know why I am here, trying to figure this out...

 

[TwoCables]

I don't know what else can be tried at this point. I still think it might be a gMail thing, and it may be using Cookies or something.

 

[paulbob]

Well, A+ for effort!!!! Thanks a billion for your help... I'll keep trying....
obviously, you are a lot better at computers then I am, I'm only good at helping people create businesses...
Talk with you later...
Thanks

You're welcome, but I am not giving up just yet.
