How to delete bookmarks on a Chromebook

1. Open your Chrome browser.

2. Locate the bookmark that you want to delete (it will be on the bar under the search function on the top of your screen).

3. Right-click the bookmark.

4. Select "Delete."

Select the bookmark on top, right-click, and then select Delete.

Alternatively, you could select "Bookmarks Manager" instead of "Delete" if, for example, you want to delete all the bookmarks within a single folder. To do that, you'd then right-click on the folder you want to delete and select "Delete."

You can also delete entire bookmark folders.

Just be aware that you will not be able to delete the "Bookmarks Bar" folder.
