I'm looking for a way to delete a whole URL in Google Chrome.
Do I need to run some other program or can it be done in the browser itself?

I found the answer from here:
I've only seen fn
on notebook keyboards, to form substitutes for keys like PgUp
. Is it on all Apple keyboards? (I use a Microsoft Natural.) – Anton Sherwood – 2016-11-08T20:24:12.397
2doesn't work anymore on mac – Andrew – 2016-11-24T15:38:28.470
1For what it worths, it still works for me on my Macbook with fn + Shitt + delete. However, even that doesn't seem to work on some particularly links. So you could be right. And unfortunately, I don't know enough to help you further. – bizi – 2017-05-19T00:56:46.027
Works for me so far on Mac :) – Ali – 2017-07-09T01:13:26.847
Can also confirm that this does not work on my Mac Mini. – SamAndrew81 – 2018-12-10T17:20:21.940
2Figured it out: I also had the site bookmarked. Delete the bookmark, autocomplete stopped. – SamAndrew81 – 2018-12-10T17:22:39.130

Another alternative is CCleaner
2Not sure why you are recommending a separate tool rather than use the browsers built in method... – soandos – 2011-12-21T23:35:55.743

If you want to remove something specifically from your history, open Chrome and go to chrome://history/#e=1&p=0.
You may have to copy and paste that link, it doesn't seem to like to link directly to it.

Browser itself: you can inject JavaScript code like this.
Step 1 Since Chrome history is queried inside a iFrame, we have to visit: chrome://history-frame/ (copy and paste URL)
Step 2 Do the search query.
Step 3 Open the Chrome console(F12 or CtrlShifti or ⌘⌥i) and execute:
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; ++i) {
if (inputs[i].type == "checkbox"){
inputs[i].checked = true;
}
}
document.getElementById("remove-selected").disabled = false
document.getElementById("remove-selected").click()
document.getElementById("alertOverlayOk").click()
Actually this deletes the elements in the current page, so it's an incomplete solution. But the next page should automatically load, so you can simply run the code again (Up arrow
then Return
) until everything is deleted.

Open your chrome history tab from the right most corner of your window and remove any particular URL from it or select clear browsing data, a pop up windows appears select all check boxes and click on clear browsing data tab.
ONE url out of manys? – akira – 2010-07-05T10:45:06.590
2@Akira - You can do that in Firefox. Just start typing url and press DEL when you select it. – Apache – 2010-07-05T10:56:01.603
@Shiki: i know that. i asked the OP what (s)he wants. "whole url" is not really specific. one can delete a single entry ("one whole url") from the history in chrome, as well as the whole history .. and all that without any 3rd party stuff. – akira – 2010-07-05T11:08:10.573
@akira - okay okay sorry. – Apache – 2010-07-05T11:23:41.893
