Chrome - How to remove wrong auto-complete text entries in Chrome

I had a couple of sites where Chrome would suggest usernames as part of auto-complete feature. This did not bother me when username was correct but the problem was I had a couple of wrong username suggestions and I could not find out how to remove those. Looked at cookies, and other usual suspects without luck. I finally find an answer here: http://superuser.com/questions/171198/remove-auto-complete-field-entries-in-google-chrome
I have clipped the answer below:
You can remove entries from the list using the following steps:
  1. Select the "Username" field and make sure it is blank
  2. Press  on your keyboard, a list of all of the "remembered" entries should appear.
  3. Using  &  highlight an entry you would like to delete.
  4. Press delete. (Note that you may need to use shift+deletefn+deletectrl+delete(Ubuntu) in some instances, like if the remembered entry is in the address / URL bar). (I HAD TO USE SHIFT DELETE ON Windows7!)
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 until satisfied.
