Deleting email address from contacts help please.

[Flattybasher9]

I have a Yahoo e-mail account. I tried deleting a contact and it was no problem.
What I did was click on "Contacts", click on the small "box" for said contact I want to delete, this will highlight the entry and click the "Delete" option button, right hand side of the "Assign to lists".
Then look over to the left below "All contacts" and click on "Deleted contacts"
Click on the small box for that "contact" and it highlights the entry. It will then give you 2 options. "Restore" or "Delete Permanently".
Click on Delete Permanently and its gone.

Hi

Suggest it is the setting . . . . .
ControlPanel / InternetOptions / Content / Autocomplete
(Turn it off/on there)

As you type the address use the down(and up) arrow key (not mouse) to manouvre to the address you do not want and hit the delete/del key.

Hi Flattybasher9 and CroxleyGreen

I had done the first part of deleting in contacts so I thought you were on to a winner by
going to all contacts and deleting permanently sadly it still remembers the address in the "to"
box even thou it's nowhere in the contacts or all contacts list. I also tried InternetOptions Autocomplete unticking the various options, but was still unable to delete the remembered address using CroxleyGreen instructions.

Thanks

Hi
This is what Yahoo says about it . . . . .

Can I disable or delete email addresses from the Autocomplete feature?
ID: SLN4642    Refers to: Mail

Description
The Autocomplete dropdown is suggesting wrong or old email addresses when a contact's name is entered into the address fields in Yahoo! Mail.

Resolution
Autocomplete is designed to suggest email addresses based on contacts that you have sent messages to in the past, even if they are not stored in your address book. Suggestions are sorted in order or relevance, rather than in alphabetical order.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to disable the Autocomplete feature or manually delete contacts from the Autocomplete list. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Looks like there is no answers to this one at the moment.
