Using PC/Chrome.

If I type "youtube" into the address bar and hit return it loads a video I watched 2 years ago. It's annoying and loud, but I cannot seem to get rid of it.

I've tried deleting Chrome history multiple times. I think it is "loading" from somewhere, if that makes sense.

The only way I can avoid it is to type in youtube.com and then a space.

Any ideas chaps? I've Googled for the answer loads and cannot find a solution.

Start typing such that the link comes up, don't click on the link, but instead click on the black 'X' at the end of it to the right hand side.

THANK YOU!

Do you know how long I've been trying to get rid of that?

I did manage to get rid a few weeks ago and then it came back.

I am surprised that clearing Chrome history doesn't sort it.

It was actually a rowing video, but it had overly dramatic music and an annoying presenter.

The filth is all saved in Favourites.

Sounds like it might also be a bookmark/ favourite - clearing history absolutely would remove it otherwise

It was, I found it buried and forgotten in a folder in favourites. I hadn't watched it though, I I am not sure why it would load as soon as I enter "youtube" in the address bar.

Now deleted... let's see.
