How To Delete a Link In Google Chrome [2026 Guide]

You’ll work entirely inside Chrome’s built-in History and the URL bar.

Delete a Link In Google Chrome [2026 Guide]

Open history

Open Google Chrome on your computer. Look at the top right and click the three-dot menu to open the drop-down.

Choose History. A side menu appears that lets you open your full browsing history. Click History again to view everything you’ve visited.

Select entries to remove

You’ll see pages organized by time and date. Scroll to the link you want to delete.

Hover over an entry to reveal the checkbox on the left. Click the checkbox next to the link you want to remove.

At the top, you can select and delete multiple entries at once. If you change your mind, uncheck any box before deleting.

Delete the selected links

With at least one entry checked, look above the list for Delete. Click Delete and the selected entries disappear from your history.

This tidies up your list and keeps it relevant.

Remove address bar suggestions

If a link still appears in URL bar suggestions after deleting it from History, remove it right from the address bar. Type enough of the address to surface the unwanted suggestion.

Use the Down Arrow to highlight the suggestion, then press the keys below.

Shift + Delete

This clears that suggestion so it won’t bother you again. For more on refining suggestions, see how to delete autocomplete URL suggestions in Chrome.
