How to Delete Bookmarks on a Chromebook

Use Chrome's Bookmark Manager or bookmarks panel to delete a saved site on a Chromebook. Deleted bookmarks cannot be recovered.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

In Chrome on a Chromebook, open More > Bookmarks and lists > Bookmark manager, find the saved site, select its More menu, and choose Delete. Google warns that a deleted bookmark cannot be recovered, so check that you have the right one before removing it.

Delete a bookmark from Bookmark Manager

  1. Open Chrome on your Chromebook.
  2. At the top right, select More (the three-dot menu).
  3. Select Bookmarks and lists, then Bookmark manager.
  4. Find the bookmark you want to remove.
  5. On the right of that bookmark, select More, then Delete.

These are Google’s desktop Chrome instructions for deleting a bookmark: Create, find and edit bookmarks in Chrome.

Delete a bookmark from the bookmarks panel

  1. In Chrome, select More > Bookmarks and lists > Show all bookmarks.
  2. Hover over the bookmark or folder you want to remove.
  3. Select its More menu, then choose Delete.

Both routes use Chrome’s built-in Delete action. The manager gives you a full list to browse; the panel can be more convenient when you already see the item there.

What happens after you delete one?

Google’s Chrome Help states: “After you delete a bookmark, you can’t get it back.” If you may want the saved site later, note its address or export your bookmarks before deleting it.

If Chrome is signed in to the same Google Account on other devices and sync is on, bookmark changes sync across those devices. Google says changes sync right away in that situation. A work or school administrator may disable sync, so behavior on a managed Chromebook can differ. See Sync your account settings and Get your bookmarks, passwords, and more on all your devices.

If the bookmark is managed by your school or employer

Some bookmarks on managed Chrome devices are set by an organization. Administrators control these through Chrome Enterprise settings. Google notes that deleting a managed folder also deletes the bookmarks inside it, and those items cannot be recovered. If you do not have Admin console access or cannot remove the item, ask your organization’s administrator. See Manage bookmarks.

What will not remove bookmarks

  • Clearing browsing data: Chrome’s browsing-data categories cover items such as history, cookies and site data, cache, downloads, autofill, site settings, and hosted app data; bookmarks are not listed. Use bookmark controls to remove a saved site. See Delete browsing data in Chrome.
  • Resetting Chrome settings: Google says a reset does not delete or change saved bookmarks and passwords. See Reset Chrome settings to default.

If you have a large number of bookmarks

Google’s Chrome Help says an account can store up to 100,000 bookmarks for access across devices; the page does not state when that limit was published. Google suggests deleting unused bookmarks or exporting them if you reach the limit. Because deletion is not recoverable, export first if you are unsure which saved sites you will need.
