Why do I have a keychain item for " Chrome Safe Storage "?

iMac late 2013 v 10.13.1


Safari v 11.0.1




Was clearing Keychain Access of a few passwords I no longer use, when I came across one for

" Chrome Safe Storage " .


I no longer have the google chrome browser, (got rid of it quite a while back)

only Safari on my iMac.


How can I access it to see what it is? I have no idea what it is.

I'm no expert on Chrome but from here:

"Chrome Safe Storage" in the Keychain is simply an application password that Chrome uses to encrypt/decrypt data in its secure information store. It's generated after installation during Chrome's initial setup.

Since it's related to Chrome which you no longer have, I'd just delete it.
