Question Internet Address Bar help

Hey everyone..I got a question on the history part of the net...I know how to delete history and address bar but i got a problem..
I haven't deleted my history in awhile so i did it today to clear all the cookies and crap out...Well my history is gone..thats good
and my adresses in the adress bar are gone, when i click to see them..

My problem is when i go to type like
www.c then all these sites with c come up that i have been too..and they are so many i want to get ride of some..but clearing the history just won't do it or clearing the address bar...so how do i go about deleteing those sites in the adress bar when i start to type in a site???

On my XP i click My Computer and then go to drive C and right click on it, Go to properties click it and a window pops up that shows the disk usage and at the bottom it has disk cleanup it works for me but if your unsure about going that far don't do it.

At the top of Internet Explorer hit the "Tools" button, then "Internet Options", then "Content", then "Autocomplete", then "Clear Forms".
