Random Question: fix URLs in my browser's history?

[JelvinJS7]

I would normally just google a question like this, but I have no clue how to phrase it for google because I don't know the technical terms, so I'm asking here!

So basically a few times when trying to get to this forum (as well as a few others), I've mistyped the URL. So then it recommends that later on when typing the URL again later on. I figured that the problem would be removed when I clear my history (which I do practically every time I turn off the computer), but after a month I still have the typo in my history (as well as others). Basically what I mean is this:

I also have a one failure where I once typed "baord" instead of "board". Not sure why that isn't there…. The other links were me just having not cleared my history since Sunday night. But apart from that I have a variety of URLs that are autosuggested even after clearing (an extra "=" after the .com, phpacademey.org, etc.). I assume they stay when the others don't because those are URLs I typed and not ones I've followed, but is there any way to get rid of these suggestions?

And for future reference, how would I go about searching for this on Google?

I think the only way is to just clear your history all together.
Ctrl+Shift+Delete.

oh yeah, i suppose i should've specified that. Whenever I clear, i do the command+shift+delete method, and select everything except "Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data" & "Clear saved passwords". though i did the former after i got baord into the mix.

For FireFox you can hover over it and hit the delete key.

Hey that worked. Thanks!

On second thought, it actually doesn't… it seems to show up less though.

I think there can be multiple entries for the same URL so you might just need to get them all.
