What happens if you set History's View by site (Ctrl-h,Alt-w,i)
navigate to My Computer (e.g. type my), then press Menu,D?

Note: I haven't tried this myself since I have no interest in not seeing
local files in the AutoSuggest list but it seems like a logical place to start.

However, also note that MS has already published a KB article which
implies that we shouldn't expect too much generality from the Delete
function in the History bar.

<title>KB218966 - History Items Remain After Being Deleted from Cache</title>


Hmm... this might be another caveat, particularly for what I am suggesting:

<title>KB250696 - Deleting the My Computer Folder from the History List Clears All the History Contents of the Day</title>


YMMV.


Good luck
