How to Remove Any Particular URL from Internet Explorer URL History?

Whenever you open a site in Internet Explorer, its URL is saved automatically and can be seen by clicking on the little down arrow in the addressbar.

Many times we want to delete a particular URL from this list. Internet Explorer provides a way to clear the whole History. You can also set the days to store the history from Internet Explorer Options but there is no way to delete any particular URL from history.

Today we'll tell you how can you delete your desired URL from IE History:

1. Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

2. In right-side pane, you'll see all typed URLs as shown in following screenshot:

3. Delete the desired URL and it'll disappear from IE URL bar history.

^^ It'll disable Auto Complete but this tutorial is for those ppl who want to use Auto Complete feature but want to get rid of a few URLs from the addressbar history.

Thanks for the info. But there is still a problem. Although the url is gone from the drop down list, it comes back again if first characterof the url is typed in the address bar. The url is still somewhere in the system. Pl suggest to remove one url completely. I am using IE7. Thanks again.

Thanks so much.
Might I add that you should delete it off of your history first, because sometimes it might not work.

CTRL+H and then right click on it and delete.

HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
