I have a 2018 MBP running macOS 10.15.6.

When I go to make an Apple Pay payment in Safari, among the billing addresses listed is my address and my mother’s address. (I guess at some point I must have shipped something to her that I purchased via Apple Pay.)

The thing is, I cannot find a way to delete her address. In Wallet & Apple Pay settings, the only address shown on either the billing address for the cards or the shipping address under “Contact and Shipping” is my address. My mother’s address is not listed, nor is it in Wallet settings for any of my other devices.

Is there a way to remove this secondary address?

Update: I found the answer on the Apple Discussion Forums. While you cannot delete the address on Mac, you can delete it on iPhone/iPad.

I hope someone knows how to do this, I have an unknown address as a shipping address along with my correct shipping address, I made a Apple purchase ( a watch band) using Apple Pay not noticing the incorrect address was selected, the package was mis-delivered, Luckily the person who received the package was honest and returned it to Apple who contacted me, Thankfully at least this was not a high $ item. At least you recognize the alternate address, I my case i have no idea where this address came from or how it became one of my selectable address.
Everything I have tried to eliminate the bogus address has failed also including following the tips on the Apple Discussion Forums
I have a 2019 MBPro 16" running 10.15.6 but noticed this going back several previous versions

If you have an iPhone or iPad, you will be able to delete it there by swiping left on it. The deletion will sync back to Mac.
 
Address bugs with Apple Pay are present on both Mac and iPhone. It's not a card issuer bug. If you put in any wrong addressed on Mac or iPhone or you move then this will probably plague you for years to come. Heck, if you put in the right address you may still have issues. Infuriating, tbh.

If only that were true. Should be true, but doesn't work. I have about six addresses now on my Mac and I cannot get rid of them. They only appear if I try to use Apple Pay on a website with my Mac, deleting cookies doesn't fix. Using the Safari develop menu and choosing "Empty Caches" may get your Apple Pay to work on Mac again but I cannot figure out how to delete the old or wrong address. There may be a way, but it's clear this feature is buggy as hell.
