Default How to clean URL history on Internet Explorer?

Hello Windows users, can't erase Internet Explorer's address bar URL
entries. Tried the usual way (tools, options...) and tried Ccleaner also
but it doesn't work. Restore doesn't work also. Can you help?

Thanks.


I used a keyword of "MRU" plus a few swear words, and found this.

Using Regedit, have a look first, and verify that the
information you want to get rid of, matches the named
entries in the above article. To be sure you're in
the right place to do the erasure.

From that thread...

"Open regedit
then navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\TypedPaths

After that delete all of the paths you want to (e.g. url1, url2, etc).
"

That page has some other registry locations you can look
at, in case that's not the correct one.
