Hi, there are tons of websites I do not go to anymore that still show up for auto-completion when I begin to type an address in the Address Bar. How do I clear Safari's memory of these?
I have tried the following: Clear History, Empty Cache, and Reset Safari...none of them did the trick. Thanks.

Hmm, everytime I choose "Clear History"...that works for me.

Safari still autocompletes the addresses from your bookmarks. That can not be turned off.

Ah, I think that's it. I have tons of bookmarks that I forgot are even there, as well. Thanks.

That happens to me a lot, too, but I'm too lazy to hunt the old bookmarks down to get rid of 'em.

The funny thing is, I think the only reason I even bookmark anything is so that it will show up in autocomplete. I practically never use the bookmark bar/menu/list..
