how do I permanently delete names from Outlook autocomplete?
starting to type in the "To" section populates a drop-down. It has been
suggested to arrow down to the address I want to delete and hit the delete button. That removes the name until the computer is restarted for another session. The names return. How do I permanently delete the selected names? These names are not stored anywhere in my contacts list. |
