Some of my co-workers weren’t used to the Google Chrome interface and were a little freaked out that there wasn’t a special area where they could manage their bookmarks. They wanted to know where to go to delete or edit a bookmark. Here’s how it’s done.
Chrome for Windows & MacOS
Add Bookmark
- While visiting the page you would like to bookmark, select the star on the right side of the URL bar.
- Edit the “Name” and “Folder” as desired, then select “Done” and your bookmark is saved.
Edit or Delete Bookmark
Windows
- Select the double-arrow on the bookmark bar or “Other bookmarks” depending on where your bookmark is located.
- Right-click the bookmark, then choose “Edit“, “Delete“, etc. as desired.
MacOS
Select “Menu” > “Bookmarks” > “Bookmark manager” then edit and delete bookmarks from there.
Chrome for Android & iOS
Add Bookmark
- While visiting the page you would like to bookmark, select “Menu“, then select the star locate at the top right portion of the screen.
= - Modify the “Name” or “Folder” as desired, then select “Save“.
Edit or Delete Bookmark
- Select “Menu” > “Bookmarks“.
- Select the star at the bottom of the screen. This will show you your “Mobile bookmarks”, which are the only bookmarks you can edit or delete from your mobile device.
- Tap and hold the bookmark you wish to edit or delete.
- A menu appears. Choose “Edit bookmark” or “Delete bookmark” as desired.

I want to know how to create a bookmark folder in Chrome on my Galaxy S6 phone.
Sue Shay says
Doesn’t help at all. I want to arrange the order of my mobile bookmarks so that those I need to access most often are at the top. Come on Google. This should be a priority for heavy phone users.
Disgruntled says
This won’t work if there is no “star at the bottom”…holding a bookmark does nothing either
Tom says
I signed in on a friend’s computer. Now all my bookmarks are mixed with his. How do we delete my bookmarks?
Mitch Bartlett says
If you’re running Linux, you shouldn’t need a tutorial on managing bookmarks.
Danie van der Merwe says
And Linux? Chrome does run on Windows, Mac & Linux desktops.
