Default how do you delete a contact from being prompted?

I deleted a contact from my address book but the contact keeps coming up
when similar letters are typed into the "To:"
How do I purge this?

I deleted it but it keeps coming up
how can I permanently delete this former contact or ANY prompted contacts
NOT in my address book?

When you start to type in the To field, if that address and any other
starting with the same letter pop up, select the one you don't want with the
down arrow key and then press Delete. If it's the only address that begins
with that letter, you can add another by entering it in the To field and
then pressing CTRL-K. That will resolve it and add it to the autocompletion
cache. You can then remove the unwanted one as I already described.

You can also get a free tool called NK2csv that will allow you to delete
single entries. See http://www.epute.com/nk2csv/
