I previously mis-spelled an email address when sending a message .... and now, that mis-spelled address is displayed in the auto-complete list each time I begin to type the correct email address.
This is NOT an issue with my contact list ... I do not have a contact defined for this address.
I do have this option enabled: Give suggestions for anyone I've communicated with (contacts and non-contacts) and I want to keep that option enabled. I realize that I could select this option: Only suggest people in my contact list, and the mis-spelled address would not appear in the auto-complete list .... but I want the auto-complete function to give suggestions from both contacts and non-contacts.
What I am looking for is the ability to delete one entry from the non-contact addresses that are maintained by the auto-complete feature. Can this be done in Outlook.com??

Dear Carlo,
so basically Microsoft has a list of every single e-mail address we sent e-mails to, even the misspelled ones, and we cannot see its content as a full report, nor edit it.
I guess this is covered by the terms of use, and falls within current regulations?

The outlook developers who can fix this issue do not follow this forum.
Please post a feedback response here: https://feedback.live.com/default.aspx?productkey=wlnewmail&scrx=1
... and ask that the developers provide the necessary features to manage the auto-complete list (add, delete, chage an entry).

Nope. I've been trying to delete an email address too. I read through most of this thread and found all answers useless since a cross doesn't appear, and I don't want to not have auto-complete since I will loose non contacts addresses (business and work related).
It needs to be sorted. I didn't like Outlook when it first took over hotmail. I still don't like it now. It is so user-unfriendly.
