could you be more precise? Which "links" do you mean, and deleted from where?

it's rather easy to simply hit the delete key while in the bookmark view to remove all the bookmarks that were supplied by default...

What do u mean by delete links. Delete from where?
I mean the links that come out if u try to type something in the browser url field. type www only and u'll see a bunch of url's (links) to choose from. I want to get rid of those, so if I try to type something it shows only url's I used not the ones Apple stick in there as advertise.

The URL entry field uses type-ahead entries from both the bookmarks database and from your history.

If you want to clear it all out, delete your bookmarks and your history. AFAIK, there are no links hard-coded into Safari that will pop up if your entire history and all bookmarks are cleared.

At the moment, there is no option in Safari to disable the type-ahead function.
