      When I first started using my macbook and was presented with a from to complete on a website, one of my email addresses autopopulated the form. It was my professional email address that i have never used to complete a form. It has continued to be the email address that pops up each time I complete a form. How do I clear/delete this email? Recently, I started completing a form and my FB name and my professional email address autopopulated the form. There is no instance where those 2 are connected. i do not use my professional email to sign in to FB. I deleted the informaion in the form and replaced it with the correct information. The confimration email STILL went to my professional email and was shown in the new account I had just created. How can this happen?

        @jawjahgal In the Settings there is a section for Autofill, if you have entered only one email address there that is what will be entered in any field identified as an email address. You may change the address you'll find there or you may enter several addresses. (or of course remove the one you have already).

          @sgunhouse As stated, I have never used that email for any form. Also, under autofill, the only sections are passwords, payment methods and addresses. There are no addresses - physical, email or otherwise - in that section. I have used several other email addresses. None of those populate, nor can I find where email addresses are stored.

            @jawjahgal Select the email address in the dropdown list and click on the X at the right of it or, if there is no X, use shift + Del.

                @jawjahgal In the email field that was populated with your email address. Delete it and press the down arrow key or type the first letter of the email address so it will be listed.
