Have typed names into find a contact incorrectly. How do
I delete? I now have several entries that I do not want,
but cannot find any way to remove the wrong ones.

Remove them from where?
The Contacts Folder?
Autocompletion cache?
What version of Outlook?

Russ,

We've got the same issue and I think it's in the
autocompletion cache you mentioned. When a contact's
email address changes, and we type in the name in an email
TO: field, the autocompletion popup still shows the old
email. How can we clear that?

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 here:
