Chrome adds bookmorks to wrong folder

[jabwtv]

On my phone new bookmarks keep getting added to Managed Bookmarks folders. How do I delete the folder and prevent it from happening again?

Hi, I don't know if I can help you, but I'll give it a try...

I have an LG phone with Android 6.0.1 and the current version of Chrome.

When I open up my bookmarks, I find a Mobile Bookmark folder that contains a list of websites that I bookmarked. There are no subject folders, just a long list of bookmarks.

Above the Mobile Bookmark folder are the folders I created for various subjects. For example Food, Photography, Cars, Phones, etc. Each of these folders contain a bunch of bookmarks related to the subject. You get the idea.

When I'm viewing a website I want to bookmark, I tap on the 3 dots at the upper right of the screen, then tap on the star. As soon as I tap on the star, a message appears at the screen bottom, indicating what folder the bookmark will be stored in. If I do nothing the bookmark will be stored in the indicated folder. But to the right is the highlighted word EDIT. If I quickly (and I mean within 2 or 3 seconds) tap EDIT, I'm brought to the Edit Bookmark screen that allows me to select which folder I want the bookmark in. I do this by taping on the folder shown, which then shows ALL folders. I can then select the Mobile Bookmark folder or any of the folders I created by taping on the desired folder.

I hope this helps. I found that Google has instructions on bookmarking sites, but nothing about creating and working with folders. I'm still learning about creating bookmark folders and subfolders, mostly by experimentation.

Oh btw...I'm guessing that your Managed Bookmarks folder is the same as my Mobile Bookmarks folder.

On my phone I can't see any way of deleting this folder.
