Google Chrome extension - how to remove entry from top sites list (Omnibox suggestions)?

I can easly remove an entry from Chrome's history:

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/history.html#method-deleteUrl

but a deleted webpage is still showing up in the suggested sites in the address bar (called Omnibox). I found, these entries are in .config/google-chrome/Default/Top\ Sites. How can I delete a single entry from this list (through Google Chrome API)?

You can remove entries from the list using the following steps:

  1. Start typing the name of the website or whatever

  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+delete, fn+delete, ctrl+delete (Ubuntu) in some instances, like if the remembered entry is in the address / URL bar).

  5. Repeat steps 2-4 until satisfied.

You can get them in a leading version of Chrome with the topSites API: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/topSites.html

I'd dig through this stuff: http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/api_index.html

Looks like the chrome.types api might have some helpful stuff, but I don't have much expertise on this particular thing I can offer you :(
