Remove addresses from
AutoComplete
When typing an address in the “To:” line I get a list of
addresses to choose from. There are several of these autocomplete recipient
names in there which I’ve mistyped and also some that I don’t use anymore.
How can I remove these? They are not in my Contacts
folder either. Where are they?

The Auto-Complete feature
of Outlook keeps a cache of addresses you’ve recently used. It is not related
to the default Contacts folder. Instead, they are kept in a special cache
location.
Removing a
single address
When addressing an email
and a name you want to remove pops-up, use your arrow keys on your keyboard to
select it and press Delete.
Addresses which you can
remove contain an X icon on the right when you highlight them.
Addresses listed in the
Other Suggestions section can’t be removed as they are resolved from your
Address Book and not from the list of addresses of people you’ve emailed
before. If the contact is stored in your Contacts folder and you want it
removed, you can delete it from the Contacts folder itself.
When using Outlook 2010,
you can instead remove the contact item from the Suggested Contacts folder. To
see all your Contact folders, switch to the Contacts Navigation (keyboard
shortcut: CTRL+3).
