Delete URL history in Google Chrome

Question

I'm looking for a way to delete a whole URL in Google Chrome.

Do I need to run some other program or can it be done in the browser itself?

Answer 1

I found the answer from here:

1. Type part of the URL, so it shows up in your suggestions.
2. Use the arrow keys to move to it.
3. Press Shift+Delete (for Mac, press fn+Shift+delete) to remove the link.

Answer 2

1. Click the "Tools" menu.
2. Select Options.
3. Click the Under the Hood tab.
4. Click Clear browsing data.
5. Select the "Clear browsing history" checkbox.
6. Use the "Clear data from this period" menu to select the amount of data you want to delete. 7. Select Everything to clear your entire browsing history completely.
7. Click Clear browsing data

Answer 3

Another alternative is CCleaner

Answer 4

If you want to remove something specifically from your history, open Chrome and go to chrome://history/#e=1&p=0.

You may have to copy and paste that link, it doesn't seem to like to link directly to it.

Answer 5

Browser itself: you can inject JavaScript code like this.

Step 1 Since Chrome history is queried inside a iFrame, we have to visit: chrome://history-frame/ (copy and paste URL)

Step 2 Do the search query.

Step 3 Open the Chrome console(F12 or CtrlShifti or ⌘⌥i) and execute:

var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i = 0; i < inputs.length; ++i) {
  if (inputs[i].type == "checkbox"){
    inputs[i].checked = true;
  }
}
document.getElementById("remove-selected").disabled = false
document.getElementById("remove-selected").click()
document.getElementById("alertOverlayOk").click()

Actually this deletes the elements in the current page, so it's an incomplete solution. But the next page should automatically load, so you can simply run the code again (Up arrow then Return) until everything is deleted.

Answer 6

Open your chrome history tab from the right most corner of your window and remove any particular URL from it or select clear browsing data, a pop up windows appears select all check boxes and click on clear browsing data tab.

Answer 7

There is a UI-option (no key-combo shortcut needed) just click on the x button.
