Internet Options > Content > Auto complete> clear forms

That is if you are using Internet Explorer. 

Otherwise, you can press 'del' on your keyboard to erase some entries.
if it is under 's' type s in the search box, and a list appears. go
down using the navigation keys and reach those entries you want to
delete, and press 'del', and they are gone...

this is the autocomplete facility at work, it stores all entries into
fields, whether forms, or search or find spaces, etc.

Do let me know if it works. 

warm regards
