How to Delete Saved Places from a Map App

Tap a step to follow along in order.

  1. Open your saved places list

    Go into the "Saved" or "Favorites" menu in your map app.

  2. Find the place to delete

    Look through the list for a saved place you no longer need.

  3. Swipe or long-press it

    Swipe the item sideways or press and hold it to bring up the delete option.

  4. Confirm the deletion

    Tap "Delete" to remove it from the list for good.

  5. Why this is useful

    Clearing out places you no longer visit or saved by mistake keeps your favorites list much easier to navigate.

Clean up places you've moved away from or no longer visit

If places you moved away from or stopped visiting stay stuck in your favorites list, it gets harder to find the ones you actually need. Going through the list every so often keeps it useful.

Saving a new favorite is just as simple

Adding a place back is just as easy as removing one β€” search for it, open its details, and tap the save or star icon so you can find it again in one tap next time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo deleting a saved place?

Most map apps don't offer a dedicated recovery feature, so it's worth double-checking that you truly don't need a place before deleting it.

Can I delete several places at once?

Some apps offer an edit mode in the list where you can check multiple items and delete them all in one go.
