How do I remove old home/shipping addresses from the Autofill in Safari?

I have moved a few times in the last couple years and my old addresses keep popping up as autofill options on forms.

I've looked in my payment/shipping settings for extra billing address - nothing
I've checked my address in the contacts app - only my current address is listed
I've looked through all the Safari autofill options - nothing related to addresses

There seems to be no way to view all saved addresses on file and select/delete them. How do I find them and edit them? I'm very tired of accidentally selecting an address I haven't lived at for 4 years.

The articles below are for Safari on Mac Sonoma (you can change the MacOS if needed at the top of each article):

You may need to check the addresses used with credit cards that you have listed in your Apple ID and Wallet

You may need to check through other sources of info. (eg websites used previously) that Autofill may be using.

Thanks

I've gone through those steps listed and none seem to list out all of the saved addresses on file - only my current shipping address (which is correct) is listed anywhere.

I'm wondering if it's a webpage-by-webpage thing because the incorrect addresses only pop up as an option in some cases, but not all.

I'm going to remove the websites that have saved form fill data and see if that helps.
