Delete URL history in Google Chrome

I've got a url in Chrome "local.mysite.com" that autopopulates when I start typing "local.my".

The URL I want is "local.mysite.com/subdir/". That URL is like 3 down in the suggested results because I keep accidentally hitting "enter" when it auto-suggests the unwanted first URL and thus re-enforcing it's assumption that that is the one I want.

How do I get rid of the "local.mysite.com" entry in Chrome's memory?

If you're talking about the address bar, then you can do the following to remove individual items:

  1. Type local.mysite.com
  2. Use the arrow keys to move focus down to the item you wish to delete
  3. Press Shift + Del

Note: this will only work for items that have the globe icon (Globe icon) next to them.

YES!!! That did it, thanks! – cmcculloh Apr 20 '11 at 15:15
Also note that it only works if you use the arrow keys to cursor to the item you want to delete (hovering over it with the mouse does not work) – Ian Boyd Apr 11 at 2:24

Clear your browsing history (Under the wrench, then tools), and also make sure that local.mysite.com isn't bookmarked anywhere.

I don't know of a way to manually edit individual entries, however.

seriously? you can't just clear one entry from your browsing history??? – cmcculloh Apr 20 '11 at 15:14
