Default How do I get rid of an automatic contact that I already deleted?

When I address a message to a particular person by typing his last name, an
automatic address appears that is an old one that I deleted in Contacts. The
correct new address is not offered in this process despite the fact that it
is entered in Contacts as the ONLY address for this person.

Of course. Autocompletion has nothing to do with Contact data.
Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field.
To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions he
