Default Remove name suggestion

I know how to turn off the name suggestion but how do I clear all the name
when I turn it back on. Some of them are not in my address book. I want to
start fresh.

To delete a single address, highlight it with the arrow keys and press
the DEL-Key on you keyboard. To purge the whole cache delete the file
"PROFILNAME.NK2" that is stored in

C:\Documents and Setttings\%USERNAME%\Application
Datas\Microsoft\Outlook

To manage this file you also can use a software like

Open WIndows Explorer and enter this in the Address bar:

%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook

I suspect you did not enable viewing hidden files and folders.
