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?

    Dear KVN

    I am an independent advisor, and I am trying to help other users in Community using my experience with Microsoft products.

    When you start typing and suggested contacts appear, just click on the "X" near the contact and it should remove it from the search. However please be careful, at some point i missed and removed another contact and later on I had to recreate the contact, for it to appear again.
