I FINALLY figured out where mine was coming from!! It was a bookmark and I have no idea how it got there! Go through your bookmarks tab on your phone or computer from chrome and see if the site is in there. If it is it doesn't matter how much history you delete it was still come up in the suggestions on the URL box. Hope this helps someone.

Hi arham!

Chrome may suggest you URLs you have visited before, or that it may predict you were going to enter. You can stop Chrome from showing you URLs of your history by deleting it:

Clear browsing data - Google Chrome Help

As for the suggestions that do not come from your history, you might have some luck disabling the feature "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar" in the Privacy and security section in settings, but as I've read, this might not completely make all suggestions disappear.[1]

Can you try this and let us know whether this was what you were searching for?

Cheers :-)

I finally figured it out (on mac)!

- Start typing the address you want to delete.

- When it appears press SHIFT + FN + BACKSPACE

- Fixed!

- Start typing the address you want to delete

- When it appears then the suggestion has "X" button in the end of the bar

- Hit the "X" button to remove suggestion

To delete a single autosuggested URL, start typing the address as you normally would—Google.com in my example. Then, when the unwanted autocomplete suggestion appears.

Press Shift-Delete and poof!

Shift-Delete works for many sites but it looks like for some google related suggestions you actually only delete them temporarily. For instance, I've been deleting finance.google.com but the suggestion for it comes back the next day.

Just as so many have done I too have tried the very same suggestions and it does not help. I think Google is playing around with the computer systems just to be ANNOYING.

Hi, I had this issue and I was able to solve some of them using this trick.

1.open the website in Incognito mode.

2. Then go to the URL that you want to delete then make it a bookmark.

3. close the incognito mode and go to bookmark manager and delete the bookmark link you have done earlier.

Then try checking for suggestions

Ps: Before doing this make sure you have removed these URL from browser History.

Tbh It works 100 percent for some URL.. Last time I was able to solve all this issue. but currently One link is not going. So, that's it. I will solve it some how. I struggled the same. SO that's why I am sharing this. All d best

Guys. Finally solved this issue. (Not a scam)

1. Shift+ delete the URL suggestion

2. delete the URL from the history section

3. delete the URL from Bookmark manager

For those, this is not working and the error URL shows up with a globe symbol on its left side follow the instruction below.

I have been trying for 2hr to solve this annoying issue and finally found a method for you all.

This for google chrome only (I only use this ).

The method:

1. Make sure that you have deleted the URL autosuggestion in history. (i.e if you search for the link in history it should give you no results).

2. Also make sure the Url is not a bookmarked one (i.e if you search in bookmark manager, it should give you no results)

3. Doing the above two steps is to make sure that you have not kept any track of the error URL in your google account.

4. Then what you need to do is to click the user logo on the right side of your google chrome browser, then click on sync is on option, then click turn off Sync option and select the delete history, bookmark and data removal from the browser option. (Don't worry this will not remove your data, history and bookmarks).

5. Then the chrome will restart and just login to your google account and you will see that all error URL not present...Hooray that's it

I think, the error is with data saved in the chrome browser in pc. so what we are doing is that we just remove everything saved in pc by signing off from our account in the google browser and after which we load the online data back from our google account back to the pc. So this basically removes the error data stored in the local pc.

I searched for solving this issue on google and youtube. I didn't find any. So I tried to understand this issue myself. And I would appreciate if someone could post the video in youtube for solving this issue. I am sure you will get a ton of like$$$$...All d best
