How to delete one mis-spelled email address from auto-complete list

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??

    GadgetGuyAKAsirplus,

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    However, I would prefer that Microsoft provide standard "add", "delete", "change" functions to manage the list. Most reputable software developers provide those list management functions, and (in my opinion) Microsoft should be leading the way rather than falling behind ... but after this problem has remained unresolved by Microsoft for YEARS ... I'd have to say that Microsoft has not fallen behind but given up entirely .... resulting in very poor customer service!
