How do I change, update or even delete the plus code on my address? 

The current code, although technically correct, takes people to the wrong address. This happens because my house is out in the woods with a long dirt driveway that runs a fair distance from my road. 

There is a mobile home park that is also out in the woods and because of this people googling my address get directions to the there instead of my actual home address. This is very inconvenient for deliveries and has caused a lot of problems. 

I would like to update the plus code to the grid that is directly in front of my driveway and road intersection but there does not seem to be an easy way to accomplish this. Can it be done? Or can I delete the plus code altogether? Either should work.

Thanks,

Scott

A plus code is just another form of writing latitude/longitude coordinates, so it can't be changed or deleted itself. If people are led to a wrong place when searching for your address, this is a problem of the map, not of the plus code. You would need to get the marker for your address moved to a different spot on the map - which, I believe, can be done via "Report a problem" on Google Maps.
