Removing web history from the web address window?

Hiya,

Quick question for you mac tech guys. How do i remove the web history from the web address window (where you type web addresses into)?

I have cleared the cache, cleared the history, selected private browsing and also rest safari.

Although this clears the history, searches and all the usernames&passwords, it still leaves all the sites i've ever visited on this mac in the web address window.

Even tho all the above is deleted, if i type "www." into the web address bar then press down key, a long list comes up. However, if i click the history tab in the top safari toolbar, there is nothing there??

I dont understand this but if anyone could shed some light that would be great.

Are any of the sites in your bookmarks? If they are not try deleting History.plist file ~/Library/Safari/History.plist

dbnoise is correct. If you have websites saved in your favorites/bookmarks then they will show up in the address bar still.

Just don't bookmark any porn websites and use private browsing and you should be good.

No none of the sites are bookmarked.

How do i delete the file "History.plist file ~/Library/Safari/History.plist"

Where can i locate it?

Many thanks

Adam
