Short answer: Go to Google Payments, open Payment methods, find the card, choose Remove, and confirm. If the card is used for YouTube Premium or another recurring service, removing it is separate from canceling that subscription. A YouTube membership billed by Apple must be managed through Apple instead.
What you are removing—and where it may be stored
Google payment information is held in a payments profile linked to your Google Account. A profile can contain cards, bank accounts, billing addresses, receipts, previous payment methods, and recurring subscriptions (Google Payments profile information).

- Google Payments profile: The main location for cards used across Google services.
- Google Play payment methods: Used for Play Store purchases, in-app purchases, and some subscriptions.
- YouTube billing: May be handled directly by Google, Google Play, Apple, or a partner, depending on how the membership was purchased.
Because billing sources differ, a card visible in YouTube is not always controlled from the YouTube video app.

Remove it through Google Play
On a computer
- Go to play.google.com.
- Select your profile picture.
- Select Payments & subscriptions, then Payment Methods.
- Select Edit payment methods.
- Under the card, select Remove, then confirm.
Google says this removes the payment method from the Google Account (Google Play payment-method instructions).
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile picture.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Payment methods.
- Tap More payment settings.
- Sign in to Google Pay if prompted.
- Under the card, tap Remove, then confirm.
Play Store menus can move with app updates. If these labels differ, open Google Payments in a browser and manage the card there (Android instructions).
Remove a card associated with YouTube Premium
Use YouTube to identify the membership and billing source, but use Google Payments to delete a card for memberships billed by Google.

Check the active payment method

- Select Manage membership.
- Expand the membership details if necessary.
YouTube can show the active payment method, backup payment methods, next billing date, and membership details (YouTube membership billing details).
Delete a Google-billed YouTube payment method
Open Google Payments, select Payment methods, choose the card, and select Remove. YouTube’s payment-method guidance directs users to Google Pay for this action (YouTube payment-method help).
Removing the card does not cancel YouTube Premium
Deleting a saved card and stopping a recurring membership are different actions. A membership normally continues renewing until you cancel it. Removing the card may cause a later payment to fail, but it does not reliably cancel the membership.
Rank #3
- Basketless paper and plastic shredder for safely destroying material into 0.24 inch wide strips; meets security level P-2 standards
- Fits over most waste baskets; extendable arm max length is 16.7" or 42.4 cm

- Run time is 2.5 minutes on/15 minutes off (9.84 feet per minute); if shredder runs continuously beyond max run time, it will automatically shut off to protect the motor from overheating
To cancel a membership billed directly by YouTube:
- Go to youtube.com/paid_memberships.
- Select Manage membership, then Deactivate.
- Select Continue to cancel.
- Choose a reason and select Next.
- Select Yes, cancel.
YouTube generally keeps the benefits active until the end of the current billing period after cancellation (YouTube cancellation instructions).
If YouTube says “Billed by Apple”
An Apple-billed membership is controlled through your Apple Account, not Google Payments. On an iPhone or iPad:
- Open Settings.
- Tap your Apple Account name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium.
- Tap Cancel Subscription if you want to stop renewal.
Removing a card from Google Payments will not remove Apple’s billing method. Apple’s subscription controls apply to the membership identified as “Billed by Apple” (YouTube’s Apple-billing guidance).

If the membership is billed through Google Play
Some YouTube memberships use Google Play billing. Check Purchases and memberships on YouTube to identify the source, then manage or cancel the subscription in Google Play. Remove the card through Google Play’s payment-method screen or Google Payments. Billing arrangements can depend on when and where the membership was started; YouTube notes that Android billing changes have not affected every existing subscriber (YouTube billing-source guidance).
Why the Remove button may be missing
An active subscription or backup payment method uses the card
A service may restrict removal of its only usable payment method, or the card may be assigned as a backup payment method. If you want to keep the subscription, add or select another method first. Otherwise, cancel the relevant subscription, remove the card from its Backup payment method area, and then return to Google Payments. Google and YouTube’s eligibility rules vary by service and account (YouTube payment methods).

The card belongs to a family payment profile
Only the Google family manager can change or delete the family payment method. A family member may be unable to remove it from their own account (Google family payment methods).
You have multiple payments profiles
Business, organization, and personal profiles can coexist. In Google Payments, switch to the profile that contains the card before editing it (Payments profile management).
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.When the card or a charge still appears
It appears in a receipt or old transaction
Payments profiles retain receipts and information about previous purchases. A masked card number in historical activity does not prove that the payment method is still active.
It appears at checkout or in Chrome autofill
Checkout suggestions and Chrome’s saved payment information are separate from Google Payments. If the card appears only as browser autofill, remove it from Chrome’s payment-data settings; that is not evidence that Google Payments failed.
A charge is pending
A pending amount may be an authorization hold rather than a completed charge. Check Google Payments → Activity and open the transaction. YouTube says an unsuccessful authorization can later disappear from the card statement (YouTube pending-charge guidance). Removing the card does not reverse a completed transaction or automatically create a refund.
Quick Recap
You do not recognize the card or charge
- Review Google Payments Activity and confirm the signed-in account.
- Check YouTube memberships, Google Play subscriptions, Google One, and other Google services.
- Consider family purchases, duplicate memberships, another Google Account, or a pending authorization before assuming fraud.
- If unauthorized access is possible, change the Google Account password and enable two-step verification.
- Contact Google or the card issuer about a completed unauthorized charge.
