I have sent/received a couple of emails to/from some people who are not in my Hotmail-People Contacts list (even those emails have been deleted a while ago). Now if I type their email address into People Search field - the email will show up there.

How can I clear this search cache, thus email-addresses (which are not in my Contacts and that does not have any corresponding emails anymore) will not show up in the Search?

    I tried most of this but  i can not solve the problem... 

    At the end i try and solved it by myself.

    This is my way to do it...

    Problem: Trying to delete a mail adress from the Hotmail(Outlook) auto complete list.

    Solution: First, add the adress(the one that appears automaticaly)  to your adressbook.

    And then go to your adressbook find it and delete it. 

    Thats all...

    Pressing x won't do anything, if you do that okay you won't find the name, but once you do a search in the search box for the name, the email address will appear again.

    It is really frustrating
