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?

    Sadly, your exes will be with you forever ..... nothing we have tried has managed to delete unwanted email addresses..... doesn't matter even if they're dead.

    Here!  Here!

    You're spot on ... and I have no idea why it isn't dealt with.

    Perhaps a class action lawsuit threat ....?
