I presume, that you want to delete URLs in the dropdown menu
of the address bar.
In KM 1.0 you can delete all of them by going in
the menu to Tools/Privacy/Clear URL bar history.
To delete only some of them, you can delete the
concerned lines in prefs.js, for example
user_pref("kmeleon.MRU.URL5", "http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/"winking smiley;
after having closed the browser.
The URL in the dropdown menu would be gone after
restarting the browser.
prefs.js is in your Profile.
The location of your profile can be found in
Edit/Preferences/General.

Fred,thanks a lot for your help!
What you said just what I want!
You have described the method in detail.
I did it step by your instruction,but it does not work.
After restarting the browser,
the deled lines still exist at URL in the dropdown menu.
What's wrong with it?

BTW: I find the location of profile is in Edit/Preferences/Configs/Prefs.js
not in Edit/Preferences/General.

When you modify 'prefs.js' file, you must do with K-Meleon closed.

K-Meleon in Spanish

Artumu, you cannot edit prefs.js in
Edit/Preferences/Configs/Prefs.js , but only the file
prefs.js itself, which is in your profiles folder.
I only wanted you to see at Edit/Preferences/General
in the textbox "Settings folder", where this profile
with your settings is located.
But as I have seen now, this text field is sometimes
empty, and can give you no hint about where your
profile with prefs.js is.
So let's try to find prefs.js in a different way.
Go first to your K-Meleon root folder (where k-meleon.exe is)
and have a look if there exists a folder "profiles".
If there is one, open the folder profiles and in it
its subfolders, until you get to prefs.js .
If there is no folder "profiles" there, "profiles"
is in the central Applications folder, probably at
the path C:/Documents..../yourusername/Applicationdata/K-Meleon
in /defaults or another subfolder of it.
You can then edit prefs.js, but the browser has
to be closed, when you edit it.
If you cannot find prefs.js, search for it using
Windows Search for files.
