Delete Chrome’s Autocomplete Entries From the URL Bar
On the desktop, it’s as simple as using the following keyboard shortcuts to delete entries. Step 1: Start typing in the keyword or URL till you spot the suggestion you wish to delete. Step 2: Use the arrow keys to highlight the specific suggestion. Step 3: Pressing the respective keyboard shortcuts will eliminate the suggestions immediately. Windows & Linux: Shift + Delete macOS: Shift + Delete (if your keyboard is equipped with a Delete key) Otherwise press, Fn + Shift + Backspace (works on most modern devices) Demo: Although this keyboard shortcut works, if Google would enable a simple right-click action with a remove button, it would simplify things greatly and make the process faster. On mobile devices running Chrome for Android, it’s much simpler. Simply long press the suggestion to invoke a pop-up box. Then press OK to remove it from your history. One thing to note for both desktop and mobile users is that this method is only for removing autocomplete suggestions based on your browsing history. If you’ve saved a specific URL as a bookmark or would like to remove Google’s default suggestions this method isn’t suitable for those tasks. RELATED: Control Individual Volume of Each Tab
