Hi TMH
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, in addition to
Alan's suggestion, you might also try the following and see if it helps:
Close all instances of IE:
Go to Start>Run>type regedit (enter)
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
Find the offending URL, select it, hit delete.
or....
To delete an item from the History in IE, click the History toolbar button
which will open the History list in the sidebar window, and you can right
click on any entry and select delete.
also..take a look here:
History Items Remain After Being Deleted from Cache
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q218966/
"Clear History of Typed URL's".
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/typedurls.reg
To delete an item in the AutoComplete list:
To remove an entry that is erroneous, outdated, or private, highlight it
using the Down Arrow (not the mouse) and press Shift + Delete.
or....
If you are wishing to clear out all the entries in the History:
CCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/
or

Hope this helps.
