Outlook: delete entry from auto-completion

Outlook completes your entries automatically. However, you can delete unwanted entries from the auto-completion. We show you how to do this.

Delete entry from Outlook auto-completion

1. In the Outlook address bar, enter a name whose entry you want to delete from the list.
2. Now mark the contribution to be deleted in the list.
3. Click the cross next to the entry to delete the name from the auto-completion.

Delete all auto-completions

If you want to remove all entries, you do not have to delete each address individually:

• Click on the "File" tab and select the "Options" entry.
• Switch to the "Email" tab.
• Finally, under "Send messages", click on "Clear autocomplete list".

The practical tip refers to the Outlook version from 2013. If you want to export the addresses instead of deleting them, you should take a look at this practical tip.
