Outlook uses autocompletion when you add email addresses to the To..., Cc..., and Bcc... fields of messages. It tries to anticipate what you want and fill it for you thereby saving you the trouble of typing it out.

Sometimes autocompletion contains obsolete or wrong information. There are two ways to remove addresses from the autocompletion, individual entries or the entire list.

1. Individual Entries - Highlight the bad entry when it is presented in the suggested address list. You can use the keyboard's arrow keys to select an item. Once the item is selected in the list push the Delete key. The bad address should be removed.
   
   
   
2. The Entire List - You need to rename the file that stores the information. This is safer than deleting it.
