Macos mojave fingerprint question

How do I clear the data for fingerprints in macbook pro 2018?

I personally do not know. But from what I understand, it's stored in the T2 chip. If you were to format the computer and wipe it all, it would be erased with it.

Use Touch ID on Mac

Set up Touch ID to unlock your Mac and purchase items, and to troubleshoot problems with your fingerprint.

Go to System Preferences > TouchID and move your cursor over the fingerprint. Click on the "X" that appears.

T2 chips retain sensitive data in their secure enclave. Before selling or otherwise disposing of a Mac with a T2 chip, clear all sensitive data from the secure enclave by starting up in Recovery mode, entering Terminal, and typing the command
xartutil --erase-all
You’ll be prompted to confirm that you want to clear the data. After confirming, quit Terminal and shut down.
