Linux and Windows
- Highlight the item in the dropdown list (using the arrow keys, or your mouse cursor).
- Press delete on your keyboard.
Note that you may have to press shift+delete in some cases, like if the autocomplete is in the address bar (URL) field.
Mac
Start typing so that the unwanted autocomplete URL comes up.
The macOS keyboard shortcut uses Forward Delete:
- Shift+Delete ⌦
On keyboards without a dedicated Forward Delete key, use Fn + "backspace" to type the needed ⌦. The label on your keyboard may vary:
- Shift+Fn+delete
- Shift+Fn+backspace
- Shift+Fn+⌫
If it still doesn't work:
Close the page and reload it; it should now be removed from autocomplete;
Check if the unwanted URL is in your bookmarks; once removed from bookmarks, it will disappear from autocomplete.
