Annoying unremovable top result for a specific keyword ('y')

So yesterday when I tried to go to youtube, which I always do by typing 'y' and hitting enter as 'youtube.com' shows up on top; I got taken to this site "y"(or "y/"). Obviously as you can tell that's probably not a real site and it just gives me the "This site can't be reached" error. So why exactly did this even show up on the top when I input 'y' and for some reason this isn't removable either.
I thought this might be something related to the yahoo search engine and linked to some recent browser update, which is trigerred by 'y', but in the settings there's no way to remove yahoo nor change the 'y' keyword. I have no clue why this started happening only yesterday and now I'm stuck with this annoying singular letter (non existing) site that shows up on top.Does anyone know a fix to this (without having to do something like clearing cache and cookies since it's a pain to re-log on sites, or reinstalling which takes up quite some time)

@sgunhouse if im not wrong you can delete the search prediction by hovering over it and pressing the 'x' on the right side, however for this the cross button just doesn't appear so it's unremovable...

@sgunhouse actually clicking on that doesn't search "y/" on yahoo but just goes to the site "y". and this appeared randomly yesterday so i have no clue what to do about this...

@proqbr Probably because it was automatically completing the address, that is what usually happens here when I type Y in the address bar.
For some reason, Opera is not being able to do the same in your case. Normally it happens when Opera does not have enough parameters to make a choice with just one letter typed.
