How to clear Outlook 365 Mail Auto-Complete
I have tried all recommendations:
- File > Options > Mail > "Empty Auto-Complete List"
- Delete NR2 file: I don't have one
- Edit Registry: I don't have the key
It's a useful feature, but useless now as it's cluttered up with outdated emails. Thanks.

Yes, I tried the "/Clean..." switch. This is Outlook 365 on the desktop; Win 10 x64. Will check that link. Thanks.

That script appears to remove individual email addresses from AutoComplete. How do I remove ALL email addresses?
- Max FritzIron ContributorTo confirm, are you using Outlook on the Web, or Outlook desktop?
Have you tried closing Outlook, then opening it again with the switch below?
