How to Delete a URL Suggestion (History) from Chrome Omnibox

I had been annoyed recently by the fact I was trying to type in my website address (usually first three characters ‘tec’) and then hit enter but it would take me to another part of my site I didn’t want, so here’s how to remove the suggestion from the Chrome Omnibox.

  1. Clear the Omnibox and start typing the website.
  2. When the entry comes up, use the down arrow to highlight the entry.
  3. Press Shift+Delete on the keyboard while the entry is highlighted.
  4. All done.

The below screenshot is a before and after; after I removed all my domain history from the Omnibox.

  1. Awesome tip! This will definitely come in handy. I wonder if that deletes cookie and cache data related to that site as well… that would be cool.
