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.

Actually, it is not this simple. If you don't want to lose items after the deleted item, you must renumber the URL# part. As soon as there is a gap, those after the gap may be lost on the next run of IE.
