To delete a saved destination on Google Maps, open the list that includes the place, tap "More," choose "Edit list," then tap "Remove" next to the place. On the web version, you can remove a saved destination from your lists through the saved places interface. This process only works for places you have manually saved—it does not delete recent search history or pinned locations from your home screen.
Step 1: Open Google Maps
The first step is to open the Google Maps application on your device. Whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, or accessing it through your web browser, the process is the same.

If you're using a smartphone or tablet, locate the Google Maps app icon on your home screen or in your app drawer. Tap on the icon to launch the app. If you're using the web version, open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Google Maps website (www.google.com/maps).
Once you have launched Google Maps, you will be greeted by the map interface displaying your current location or the last location you accessed. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the features and options available on the app or website interface.
Now that Google Maps is open, let's move on to the next step.
Step 2: Go to Your Saved Places
Once you have Google Maps open, the next step is to navigate to your saved places. This is where all the destinations you have previously saved will be listed.
On the mobile app, tap on the menu icon (usually represented by three horizontal lines) located in the upper left corner of the screen. This will open the side menu. From the menu options, select "Your places." On the web version, you can also find the "Your places" option in the menu, which is usually located on the left side of the screen.
After selecting "Your places," you will be taken to a new screen where you can manage your saved places. Here, you will find different tabs or sections such as "Saved," "Visited," "Starred," and "Maps." Depending on the version of Google Maps you're using, these tabs may be laid out differently, but the functionality remains the same.
For the purpose of deleting a destination, we'll focus on the "Saved" tab. This tab will display a list of all the places you have saved on Google Maps. Browse through your saved places and locate the destination you wish to delete.
Now that you have found your saved places, let's move on to the next step.
Step 3: Select the Destination
With Google Maps open and your saved places accessible, it's time to select the specific destination you want to delete. This step will help you pinpoint the exact location you wish to remove from your saved places list.
On the mobile app, scroll through the list of saved places in the "Saved" tab and find the destination you want to delete. You can tap on the destination to view more details such as its name, address, and any notes or labels you may have added. Verify that you have selected the correct destination for deletion.
If you're using the web version of Google Maps, the process is similar. Look for the destination you want to delete in the list of saved places. You can hover over the destination to display a preview or click on it to view more details.
It's important to ensure that you have selected the correct destination before proceeding to delete it. Double-check the details and consider any relevant information that may help you confidently identify the destination to be removed.
Now that you have selected the specific destination, let's move on to the final step.
Step 4: Delete the Destination
After identifying the destination you wish to delete from your saved places, it's time to proceed with removing it from Google Maps. The process of deleting a destination can be done in just a few simple steps.
Confirm the deletion when prompted. The selected destination will now be removed from your saved places on Google Maps.
If you're using the web version of Google Maps, you can also remove a saved destination from your lists through the saved places interface. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
After confirming the deletion, the destination will be removed from your saved places in Google Maps. You will no longer see it listed in the "Saved" tab or any other relevant section.
It's important to note that deleting a destination from your saved places does not affect any other aspects of Google Maps. The destination will only be removed from your personal saved places list, and it will not impact the availability or visibility of the place for other users.
You have successfully deleted a destination from your saved places on Google Maps.
