I couldn't clear the Outlook autocomplete list, which seemed full because instead of showing new names, it showed most of the names from at least a year or two ago. I've hit the button to clear it about 50 times... The names still come up. In the CMD prompt run "Outlook. Exe/cleanautocompletecache"... The names still come up. The AutoComplete folder in the RoamCache folder has been searched and deleted... The names still come up. Uninstalled and reinstalled all of my Office 365 applications... The names still come up. Deleted all my email addresses and then added them to Outlook... The names still come up. Type a name, then click the "x" next to it to remove it from the list... The names still come up. But it got better!! Go to another computer and use Outlook... The name appears there! Using the online version of Outlook... The name appears there!
