I tried your method: To Delete a URL Address From the Suggested Sites List on Microsoft Edge. It didn’t work. Still shows up when I start typing.
Thanks, David.
yes and no: the Edge search too will still find these items as you start typing. These are illustrated by the ‘magnifying glass’that appears left of the type+search result. The items that have been visited (illustrated by the graphic globe that appears at left) are the ones that you can delete using this method.
Cheer!
