The delete trick below not just works for the Chrome Omnibox, but for any autocomplete list in Chrome.
[Wayback/Archive] How to remove an entry from Chrome’s Remembered URLs from the url bar? – Super User (thanks [Wayback/Archive] cmcculloh, [Wayback/Archive] Gaff and [Wayback/Archive] User 张 源 – Super User):
Q
I’ve got a URL in Chrome “local.mysite.com” that autopopulates when I start typing “local.my” into the URL bar.Note that this URL DOES NOT EXIST in my browser history (at chrome://history/#e=1&p=0) because it isn’t a real site and therefore couldn’t ever be successfully visited and therefore never shows up in my history.
A
Follow the steps below to remove individual items from the address bar’s remembered URLs:
- Type
local.mysite.com- Use the ↑ ↓ keys to move focus to the item you wish to delete
- Press the relevant keys depending on which OS you are using:
Windows and Linux:
- Press Shift + Del
macOS:
- Press Shift + Del (when the keyboard has a dedicated Del key)
- Press Fn + Shift + Backspace (otherwise)
Note: this will only work for items that have the paper icon (
) next to them.
In older versions of Chrome this is a globe icon () instead.

If the there is a ‘star’ icon, type ‘
chrome://bookmarks‘ then search and delete
