Unable to clear autocomplete from address bar

I usually just do my searches from the address bar, if that makes a difference here. But, I have done a few searches for sensitive information and forget to click private browsing first. So I need to clear all suggestions/autocomplete from the address bar. So far I have clicked "delete all history", "clear autocomplete", (and I'm probably not remembering the wording there just right), set it to never remember history, and others I don't remember now. But still I type one letter and the drop-down opens with all the sensitive information still there. I have changed some stuff in about:config, still no luck. What else can I do to clear this memory?

วิธีแก้ปัญหาที่เลือก

The searches were more for categories and not specific items, so deleting each one individually would take a couple of weeks. However, I finally just uninstalled, deleted all remaining folders and reinstalled. Deleting the leftover folders was the key, just uninstalling and reinstalling loaded the same profile and information.
