How to delete 1 history item from Chrome for Mac OSX

32

8

I have tried the following:

Click History menu item > Show Full History > Search for item speedtest.com > Tick checkbox next to speedtest.com > Click Remove Selected Item > Restart Chrome

Now when I type speedtest into the chrome search bar I still get speedtest.com as the first item!?

Here it says:

You can delete single suggestions in the address bar . For Mac OS X Highlight the URL with your arrow keys and then SHIFT+FN+DELETE. At least that has worked for me .

though it apparently only works when it feels to.

You must ensure that the item is not also in your bookmarks. Might seem obvious but yeah... if the entry is also in your bookmarks the attempt to SHIFT+FN+DELETE OR SHIFT+CONTROL+FN+DELETE will simply not work
