I solved my issue by searching for that string in the bookmarks backup opened in notepad, figuring out which bookmark it was referring to and deleting that bookmark. I then created a new backup of my bookmarks, re-imported them replacing my bookmarks and then syncing. Now all my computers have the same bookmarks.
