Cookies and saved addresses are two different things.
If you want to delete a saved address from your favorites list, simply right click your mouse over the address that you want to delete and choose "delete".
If you want to delete specific cookies, you CAN do it in Windows, but I find it easier to just run Spybot on my computer and pick and choose what I want to get rid of. Spybot will also eliminate a good deal of spyware you have likely accumulated and protect you against future spyware.
If you would like to download Spybot, go to http://www.spybot.info/ , Spybot is free. It's one of the best, if not the best, free program of its type.
UPDATE! - I JUST REREAD YOUR QUESTION - UPDATE!
If you want to delete just one you have to do it the hard way, by editing the Windows Registry. Run the Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Start Menu's Run dialog. In the leftmost window, navigate to the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft
\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs and you should see the list of URLs in the rightmost window. Select a URL and hit [Delete] - this updates Internet Explorer instantly, so no restarting is necessary.
Personally, I would just clear them all since the common addresses come back so quickly. But, I'm sure you have your reasons.

It is possible to delete individual cookies, but it takes some time. If you do a lot of surfing, you probably have hundreds, or even thousands of cookies on your computer. Assuming your using some sort of Windows operating system, open Windows Explorer. Open folder windows/cookies. Right click on any cookie you want to delete and choose delete. But you're not done yet. Cookies are all over the place. Go to windows/temporary internet files and you'll find more cookies. Have fun.

In IE go to internet options/general/settings/view files and locate the cookie and delete it. There are cookie managers that you can download that will keep a list of what you want and what you don't want and do it for you.
Firefox has the capability to reject cookies from specific sites. They are located in options/privacy/cookies.

Why don't you just block myspace?
Customize your privacy settings for an individual website
Cookies are files that are stored on your computer by some websites. They're usually used to keep track of information about you (for example, your user name, password, or the contents of your shopping cart). Internet Explorer privacy settings let you specify which cookies you want to allow to be stored on your computer.
To customize cookie settings for an individual website
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
Click the Privacy tab, and then click Sites.
In Address of website, type the complete address (URL) of the website for which you want to specify custom settings. For example, http://www.microsoft.com.
To specify that you want Internet Explorer to always allow cookies from the specified website to be saved on your computer, click Allow. To specify that you want Internet Explorer to never allow cookies from the specified website to be saved on your computer, click Block.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each website you want to block or allow. When you are finished, click OK twice.
Notes
Some websites require cookies. If you choose not to allow cookies to be saved on your computer, some websites might not display correctly.
When you change your privacy settings, the changes might not affect cookies that are already on your computer. To help ensure that all of the cookies on your computer meet your privacy settings, you should delete all of the existing cookies on your computer. When you return to websites that previously had saved cookies on your computer, the websites that meet your privacy settings will save cookies on your computer again. The websites that do not meet your privacy settings will not be allowed to save cookies on your computer. For information about how to delete cookies, click
