My daughter borrowed my laptop and used it for a few days, so now I have all
her sites in IE that pop up every time I select the URL space and type. Is
there any way to delete these URLs, or am stuck with them?

Do you mean clicking on History and deleting the sites in there? Yes, it
didn't affect the URL part.

In IE, click "Tools" -> "Options", and you can see there is a button to
clear history in the lower part of the option window.
 
To remove an AutoComplete entry from a Web form, highlight the item in the
AutoComplete dropdown and press the Delete key.

To remove all Web form AutoComplete entries, go to the Internet Explorer
Tools menu, select Internet Options, Content, AutoComplete, then press the
"Clear Forms" button.

Clear Forms button
[[Click this to clear your History folder of all entries you've previously
made in Web pages. This ensures that nobody else can use your computer and
attempt to view any private information you've previously entered, by
viewing what entries are listed by AutoComplete.]]

To delete Autocomplete entries from the Address bar list

[[The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web
addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address bar, you
must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual entries from the
list of saved entries.

1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Under History, click Clear History.

Notes
When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove
an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing
the DELETE key. ]]
