When I type a web address in the main url box, a drop down appears as I type each letter. Many of these sites are old or I want them deleted. I've deleted all other histories but these seem to have a determination to stay! How do I delete them?

See:

Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.
This will open the Edit This Bookmark dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.
