If you are talking about the URL or Address Bar drop bar:
There are two ways to delete them,
1. Go to the top of your browser and go to TOOLS then INTERNET OPTIONS and the push the button that says CLEAR HISTORY......then close your browser then open it back up and all those in that bar will be erased and also you history will be erased.

2. Go to your start menu then SETTINGS then CONTROL PANEL then INTERNET OPTIONS which is the same window as above.. the push the CLEAR HISTORY button.....You will have the same effect as above....All URLs and history will be eased.
