Remove the Yandex pop-up shortcut from the bookmarks bar. How to delete bookmarks "VKontakte": detailed instructions

As mentioned in one of the articles on our site, Yandex Browser users can bookmark the page they like in order to be able to open it in two clicks in the future. But what to do if there are indecently many bookmarks or some of them are outdated? That's right - you need to delete the bookmarks that you consider superfluous.

There are several ways to delete in Yandex Browser, and we will consider each in detail.

Deleting via Bookmark Manager

For convenient management, Yandex Browser has created a "Bookmark Manager" that displays all saved pages in a convenient way. If you need to remove a small amount, we go there.

If you delete a bookmark, you won't be able to restore it. I recommend that you create a backup copy before taking any action.

1. Launch the browser, go to the menu and open the manager or press the hot key combination "Ctrl + Shift + O".

2. You are in the list of saved pages. Select the entry you want to delete and right-click on it. Select "Delete" from the drop-down menu.

It remains to repeat the procedure with other entries that need to be erased.

If, while viewing a page, you accidentally saved it, no need to delve into the settings. All saved pages are marked with a golden star in the browser window, click on it and click "Delete" in the pop-up window.

Deletion via browser profile

All data that is stored directly in Yandex Browser (logins, passwords, etc.) is stored in separate files in the user profile. Bookmarks are no exception, the file with them is called bookmarks, and if you want to delete them all at once, delete this file, or rather move it to a safe place so that it can be restored.

If automatic synchronization is configured in the browser, all the data that you erase will also disappear from Yandex servers.

1. In Windows Explorer, find a folder called AppData(the path to it is described in detail in the article -). Next, follow the path "Local - Yandex - YandexBrowser - User Data - Default".

2. Find a file with the name bookmarks and optionally move or delete it. An empty document with the same name will appear the next time you start Yandex Browser.

There is an easier way - through the browser settings, but this will erase logins, passwords and other previously saved information.

1. Go to "Settings" and find the "Profiles" section.

2. Select exactly the user profile that you are using and click on the button marked in the screenshot.

I described an extreme method, which can be resorted to in case of urgent need, having previously created a backup copy.

Removing "Visual Bookmarks"

Yandex Browser has a built-in analogue of the Visual Bookmarks extension called Tableau. By default, it displays links to your most visited sites or manually added addresses.

There is no way to completely disable the "Scoreboard", you can only remove unnecessary tiles.

1. Open a new tab and click Customize Screen.

2. On each "tile" icons of the lock, settings and a cross appeared. Select an unnecessary entry and click on the gray cross on it.

It is worth mentioning that at standard deletion Yandex Browser, profile files remain in place and when reinstalled, all bookmarks will be in place.

With bookmarks, users can save important links and get quick access to web pages. But over time, any information loses its relevance, and then you need to clean it up. Not all Yandex browser users know how to remove a bookmark from a panel. Let's figure this out.

Standard removal methods

Yandex.Browser is quite easy to use, so even a beginner will quickly figure out this service. The bookmarks bar is user-friendly and useful tool, but sometimes it is installed by mistake. The following instructions will tell you how to remove it from the Yandex browser:

  • In the upper right part of the screen there is an icon in the form of three horizontal lines, click on it.
  • Next, select the section called "Bookmarks".
  • To clear a link, right-click on it and select the appropriate command from the options provided.

If you need to clean up a large amount of information, the process will be quite lengthy, but this method considered the simplest and most convenient.

To delete bookmark history from Yandex, you can use other cleaning methods. One of them involves the use of a special "Tab Manager":

  • In the upper right corner of the page there is an icon for going to the main menu of the browser, you need to click on it.
  • Next, open the "Bookmarks" tab, and then go to the "Dispatcher".

  • The screen will display all the links that the user has saved.
  • Unfortunately, the Yandex service does not provide for the ability to delete all bookmarks at once, however, you can select those bookmarks that are no longer needed and delete them all together.
  • To remove an unnecessary link or a group of links from the panel, activate the "Delete" command.

Another method involves cleaning from a public site. To do this, you need to visit the page, the link to which is saved in the browser panel. On the right side of the address bar there is a button with a yellow star or flag, you need to tap it. A context menu will open, in the list of which there will be an uninstall command.

In some cases, it is still possible to return deleted bookmarks in the Yandex browser. If the saved site was cleared from the list, but the browser was not closed, there is an option to cancel. To open the application settings, press the Alt + F buttons, or you can immediately open the Dispatcher window using the Ctrl + Shift + O combination. The next step is to select the Arrange command, after which the Undo Delete button is pressed. After restarting Yandex, this function will not work, so there is no other way to restore deleted bookmarks.

One step removal

Users who would like to delete all Yandex browser bookmarks with just one action can try a more radical method. It involves deactivating an account in the system, but it is worth considering that not only links to pages will disappear, but also saved passwords, information about various settings, and much more. All this data is stored in a special folder on the computer, deleting which the user will not only clear unnecessary bookmarks, but also return Yandex itself to its original state. To do this, the following steps are performed:

  • In the upper right corner, click on the button to go to the settings menu.

  • In the new window, find the "User Profiles" section, and then activate the account deactivation command.

  • At the end, you only need to confirm the action.

Yandex has a universal menu that displays the most visited web resources. Most often, pages of social networks or search engines are saved. Any user can delete one or more bookmarks in the Yandex browser. To do this, you need to hover over the desired link, after which special characters will be displayed in the upper right part of the screen. Among them will be an icon in the form of a cross, with which an unnecessary link is cleared. This procedure will be useful if the virtual panel displays pages that are no longer relevant, and the most visited resource is missing from it. As you can see, the process of quickly deleting bookmarks in the Yandex browser does not cause difficulties. Approximately according to the same principle, Internet links are cleared in other browsers.

Deleting bookmarks on mobile devices

Many users use a mobile gadget to navigate search engines. In terms of functionality, they are not much different from personal computers, and the principle of operation regarding the management of the application menu remains the same. The instructions on how to delete bookmarks in the Yandex browser from your phone still have some differences. The process is the following:

  1. You need to launch the browser, and then go to the panel of saved links.
  2. If the user finds a link that they want to get rid of, they will need to highlight it, and then press and hold for a few seconds.
  3. A message will appear prompting you to clean the element, the command must be confirmed.

In addition to deleting Yandex bookmarks on Android, information on how to create a bookmark will also be useful. To do this, in the upper right part of the screen, click on the button with the image of three dots, after which a menu with a list of commands will open. From the proposed actions, the item "Add to bookmarks" is selected. It is recommended to change the title of the page, because it is too long in the default mode. After changing the name, you need to save the actions performed.

All selected urls are located in a section called "Bookmarks Bar" - it is partially displayed at the top of the browser. The very first ones are placed on the visible part of the program window by default. In the future, they can be moved, putting forward those elements that need constant access to the first places. You can find all the selected pages by going to the menu and finding the tab of the same name in it.

How to delete bookmarks in Yandex

You need to remove sites from the list if you do not use them, and their number does not allow you to comfortably use the program.

What to do if Yandex does not allow you to delete a bookmark

If several accounts are used in Yandex, a conflict may occur when trying to remove an Internet resource pinned by another user.

With it, you can roll back the system to its state at a certain point. You can find this function in the Windows control panel, opening it you will see the dates of the last system saves. Select a date before the panel cleaning process and click Finish.
