firefox - Google Chrome doesn't delete my browsing history correctly

I have deleted everything that I could from my browser history:


chrome://settings/clearBrowserData

I checked everything and select the begining of time


Then when I access browsing history:


chrome://history/

There is nothing (as I expected), or to be precise No history entries found.


The problem is that I still see my specific search url with very specific query I have made a month ago, when I start typing the url of the website into chrome address bar.


How is that possible? Where is Google stroing these data. How to get rid off them completely?


I want to mention that my autosuggestion options look like this:


enter image description here


So, what else should I delete to remove everything from autosuggestions?


Right now it has some specific URLs (subpages, pages with very specific search query I have made in a month or so).


I have tried restarting Chrome and restarting my computer, but the urls are still in the autosuggestion.


Also I am unable to turn off the autosuggestion, even I have unchecked that option in settings.


My Google Chrome version is: Version 27.0.1453.116 m (probably the latest)


Btw. in Firefox deleting the history works as expected. So, I guess that this has nothing to do with the operating system I am using (Windows 7), but only it's an issue with Chrome itself.
