Dear PF Forum,

Anybody knows how to remove the star?

I forgot when I unintentionally put that star, now I want to remove it. But I can't. Some websites suggest by inserting some HTML (or Java script? Can't tell the difference) script. Is there an easy way withouth signing off google?

Thanks for any tips.

Click on the star on the map. Then click on the yellow star just above "Saved" (left side of the image below).
