This isn't a big problem, but it's bugging me. Whenever I need to enter my name into a form, it automatically adds the name of someone that I once typed. I don't know why it chose to "save" that particular name, but I want to know how to change it back. I use Microsoft Edge if that matters.

I clicked on Open Wallet but didn't see anything there. Under Personal info, the option saying Save and fill basic info is turned off. Was there something else I was supposed to find there?

Click to expand...
It's odd but if you've already set up some info then I think "save and fill basic info" being off only hides the info?

Turned off,

Turned on,

I would turn the setting on again and then edit/delete the info showing.

I tried this and my name there is correct. I don't know why it saved that other name or where it's located.

I think it is in the browser history of Edge.

How you can delete browser history in Edge is described here:

View and delete browser history in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support

Learn how to view and delete your browser history and other history in Microsoft Edge.
support.microsoft.com support.microsoft.com

Probably you need to delete the "Autofill form data (includes forms and cards)" section
I am not fully sure that this is the cause, but it's worth trying. ;-)
