Clear item from Chrome address bar autocomplete

Solution 1:

I don't think you mistyped c#, I think this was a bug that was introduced recently. As I also just started getting this behaviour.

See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=406029

I'm guessing that as #'s are used in url's more often now, chrome decides that anything with a # behind it should be considered a web address. For example if you type: "wdqwuuw#" it will auto-correct to "wdqwuuw/#", which you of course don't want.

Solution 2:

Highlighting the entry+pressing Delete should work, but anyway an alternative would be to selectively delete the history instead:

1. Type chrome:history into the address bar.

2. Search for C/# in the search bar(top right corner).

3. Check all C/# entries and click Remove selected items.

4. Confirm removing items.

So next time you type C into the address bar you would get C#!

EDIT

I'm also using Chrome v37 (latest) and the method in your answer works for me?

1. I type C/ so that the incorrect one(C/#) shows up.

2. I move my mouse over the autocomplete so it is highlighted as in your picture.

3. I press Del- it gets deleted!

I can't think of any reason why it doesn't work for you though. Sorry I can't be of more help :(
