networking - delete history matching ip address?

    In chrome history, I search for the ip address I want to remove (e.g. 192.168.2) and it lists all the history matching that address. I then click the first item, shift-click the last item to select all, and press "Remove selected items". The screen goes white for a short time, then comes back and shows many (but not all) the same addresses as I just removed. Problem: Chrome won't delete some history items.

    I can check the first item and remove it. It comes back again. It does not delete.

    Using the omnibox and typing in the ip address suggests items that I thought I just removed, so it IS remembering the address not just forgetting to refresh the screen properly.

    How can I force chrome to remove all items for a given IP range so that it no longer suggests adn then auto-selects them in the omnibox? This is a feature I DO want for non-ip-based addresses that I type in.

    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?

    • Press Shift and Delete (if on Mac, press fn + Shift + delete) to remove the link.

    Another alternative is CCleaner

    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.
