Chrome Sync saves your bookmarks, passwords, history, and settings to your Google Account so they follow you between devices. If you want to stop that or clear out everything that’s been saved, here’s how.
Before you start: Removing synced data deletes it from your Google Account permanently. Make sure you don’t need it on another device first.
How to Turn Off Sync
- Click the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
- Click You and Google, then Sync and Google services.
- Click Turn off next to your account.
How to Delete Your Synced Data
- Go to myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy.
- Scroll to Your Google Account data and find Chrome sync.
- Choose the option to delete your Chrome data, then confirm.
Quick Tips
- Turning off sync on one device does not delete data already saved from your other devices.
- Passwords stay encrypted while synced, but deleting your synced data removes them from your account too.
Now your devices will stop sharing browsing data through your Google Account, and anything already saved there is gone for good.
