Did you turn that off too?
I accidentally typed my password in the box with my gmail name and now when I check my email this name comes up also and I can't delete it.
Thanks for your help.

so no info is stored there. Don't know what google changed because I have been able to delete mistakes before.

I'd go back to the browser and check my autofill, autosuggest and other memory options in the browser.

I went to chrome settings, advanced settings and there is no info in autofill section. I guess I just won't lend my computer until I can get rid of that.

Answer
Which browser are you using?
In Internet Explorer, go to "Settings", then "Safety", then "Delete browsing history"
I think it's "Form Data" that will do the trick, then select "Delete"
You may need to try "Passwords" if "Form Data" doesn't work.

Your google sign in disconnect it in Chrome's Settings. You might also go to https://www.google.com/ then in the upper right corner sign out or sign in (as the red button dictates).
If it is some saved password that would be under Advanced Setings (Settings is accessed through the icon at the top right corner of the browser that consists of three horizontal lines).

on the gmail sign in page it lists my sign in name - just comes up when I type 'm' - and also the same underneath but with my password because I accidentally typed it into the user name box and hit enter. Awhile ago I could just highlight the mistake and press delete but now the highlighted area just goes grey and cannot be deleted. Thanks.

look through the settings for Chrome and disconnect the google account so you could change it ?
You didn't use the Settings Page's Advanced Settings to manage autofill and passwords?
You didn't make use of the Chrome Settings pages to add a new user (with the correct information) and delete the user that is the problem (user in this case being the Google Chrome User account)?
You are the one at the computer so you have to look for and try what is suggested as we can't do it for you.
