How do I get rid of Bookmarks that won’t go away?

Answered by Tom Adger

To get rid of bookmarks that won’t go away, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Chrome: Launch the Chrome browser on your computer. You can do this by double-clicking the Chrome icon on your desktop or by searching for Chrome in the Start menu.

2. Access the Bookmarks Menu: Once Chrome is open, look for the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of the browser window. This is known as the hamburger menu. Click on it to reveal a drop-down menu.

3. Open Bookmarks: In the hamburger menu, you will find an option labeled “Bookmarks.” Click on it to expand a submenu.

4. Manage Bookmarks: From the submenu, click on “Bookmarks manager.” This will open a new tab in your browser specifically for managing your bookmarks.

5. Select the Unwanted Bookmark: In the Bookmarks manager tab, you will see a list of all your bookmarks. Scroll through the list and find the bookmark you want to remove. Click on it to select it.

6. Select All Bookmarks: If you have multiple bookmarks you want to remove, you can select them all at once. To do this, hold down the “Ctrl” key (or “Cmd” key on a Mac) on your keyboard and click on each bookmark you want to remove. This will highlight all the selected bookmarks.

7. Remove the Bookmarks: Once you have selected the unwanted bookmarks, go back to the hamburger menu (three vertical dots) in the top-right corner of the browser window. Click on it to reveal the drop-down menu.

8. Delete the Bookmarks: In the drop-down menu, hover your cursor over the “Delete” option. This will expand another menu with a few options. Click on “Delete” to remove the selected bookmarks.

9. Confirm Deletion: A confirmation dialog box will appear asking if you want to delete the bookmarks. Make sure you have selected the correct bookmarks before proceeding. If you are sure you want to delete them, click “Delete” to confirm.

By following these steps, you should be able to get rid of any unwanted bookmarks that won’t go away in your Chrome browser. Remember to double-check your selections before deleting to avoid accidentally removing important bookmarks.
