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?

    No, unfortunately, Microsoft never got back to me with a solution.

    I have the exact same problem as all the others in the post group and have tried all remedies suggested.

    Looking for help through MS or anywhere else does not help either.

    Surely, someone at MS has recognized that this is going to clog people's email.

    Or do they want the dead to continue e-living?
