Google Play is an online store that lets you download games, apps, movies, and more. Sometimes, the contents are not for free, so you need to add a payment method to purchase what you want to download.

But if the credit card that you've saved has expired or if you do not want it there anymore, you can easily remove it. Here's how you can do it.

Google Play Credit Card Removal

First, go to Google Play and log in to your account. Select "Payment Methods," and under the page, click on "Edit Payment Methods."

You will see the payments center site, and you will see the last four digits of your credit card. Beneath it, you will see "Remove."

Once you click on "Remove," your credit card information will be deleted from your Google Play profile, and you will no longer be able to use this method to make further payments, according to How to Geek.

If you need to delete or update your credit card information in your Google Chrome account, you can do so by checking the payment method settings.

Under the tab, you will see "Autofill" and choose "Payment Methods." Next, look for the payment methods subsection to see your saved credit card information.

Under the "Edit Card" window, you will see the full number of the credit card saved there, its expiration date, the full name on the credit card, and the card's nickname, according to The Android Portal.

While the credit card's edit screen is open, you can make changes to the stored information if needed or copy and paste the information to another destination. Once you are done making changes, just click "Save."

Back on the payment methods screen, you can add a new credit card if you want to through the autofill section. If you wish to delete a credit card saved in Google Chrome, just click the three dots button beside the card in the list and choose "Remove."
