My username and password were stored somewhere in internals of Git Extensions. After some time it was necessary to give username and password again and I gave wrong pass many times.
Now if I want to pull something etc. I receive fatal: Authentication failed. I cannot give new password, it seems to be stored and I don't know how to change it.
Is it possible to delete the old credentials?
I have 2.51.04 version. I have uninstalled it and install again and it doesnt help me.

Control panel->credential manager->windows credentials->update github with new credentials (Edit) and give new password. Close and reopen Git Extensions and then try to push your changes again, it'll work.
To update your credentials, go to Control Panel → Credential Manager → Generic Credentials. Find the credentials related to your Git account and edit them to use the updated password. This should be the accepted answer if git config --list contains credential.
DESCRIPTION. This command caches credentials in memory for use by future Git programs. The stored credentials never touch the disk, and are forgotten after a configurable timeout. The cache is accessible over a Unix domain socket, restricted to the current user by filesystem permissions.
GitExtensions doesn't store any passwords.
They are stored by git or, more exactly, by "git credential manager" that stores them inside windows.
Search for Credential manager* in the start menu and you should find it. Otherwise, it should be in: Control panel => User Accounts => Credential manager
Then select the tab Windows credential and you will see keys named like git:xxxx.
