In this guide, you will find instuctions about removing an AutoComplete list entry from Outlook.
Microsoft Outlook maintains the AutoComplete list. The list is used by both the automatic name-checking feature and the automatic completion feature. The AutoComplete list, also known as the nickname cache, is generated automatically when you send email messages from Outlook. The list contains SMTP addresses, LegacyExchangeDN entries, and display names for people to whom you have sent mail previously.
NB! The AutoComplete list for Outlook is specific to Outlook and is not shared with Outlook on the web. This app maintains its own AutoComplete list.
For more information, check Microsoft.com - The Outlook AutoComplete list.
Selecting X will prevent that name entry from appearing in the AutoComplete list again but won't remove it from your account. This entry may still appear in other areas in Outlook (such as search boxes). NB! If you send a person a new email after you've removed their name from the AutoComplete list, their information will be restored to the list. |
