# How to delete bookmarks in Chrome on iPhone and iPad

> One, a folder, or all of them, and what happens on your other devices.

Published 2026-11-03 - Updated 2026-11-03 - By VaultForYou Editorial Team - Checked against each browser's help pages, November 2026

## Quick answer

In Chrome on iPhone and iPad, ⋯ -> Bookmarks -> Edit, pick the bookmarks and tap Delete, or swipe one to the left. With sync on, the deletion reaches your other devices too.

- **One bookmark:** ⋯ -> Bookmarks -> Edit, pick the bookmarks and tap Delete, or swipe one to the left
- **Everything:** Select all in the bookmarks list
- **Undo:** Re-add it; there is no bin

## Delete bookmarks in Chrome on iPhone and iPad

1. **Open the manager** the three-dot menu (⋯) -> ⋯ -> Bookmarks.
2. **Select what goes** Touch and hold a bookmark to start selecting, then tap the others.
3. **Delete** Tap the bin.
4. **Check your other devices** If your Google Account syncs bookmarks, the deletion is copied there within minutes.

Menu labels change between versions of Chrome (iPhone); the shortcut and the menu don't.

## Delete a whole folder

Right-click the folder in the bookmarks list and choose Delete. Everything inside goes with it.

## Deleted the wrong one

There is no bin. If sync is on and another device hasn't synced yet, turn that device's Wi-Fi off, open Chrome (iPhone) there and export or re-save the bookmark before it syncs.

## On a phone

Chrome on iPhone has no bookmarks bar and can't install extensions. On iOS, Chrome's bookmarks are private to the app; Safari's are separate. Chrome extensions, including Private Bookmarks, run on desktop browsers only, so the private vault lives on your computer; if you need the same pages on your phone, open them from a note or a password manager instead of a synced bookmark.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I delete all bookmarks in Chrome (iPhone) at once?

Open ⋯ -> Bookmarks, touch and hold one bookmark, tap Select all (or tap each), then the bin.

### Does deleting a bookmark remove it from my other devices?

Yes, if bookmarks sync through your Google Account. Turn sync off first if you want to keep them elsewhere.

### Can I recover a deleted bookmark?

Not from the phone. If sync is on, a computer that hasn't synced yet still has it.

### Does deleting a bookmark delete my history?

No. The visit stays in history. Clear it from Chrome (iPhone)'s history page, or browse in a private window next time.
