Over time I created a few contact lists in Outlook.
These have subsequently been deleted when new lists were created.
Now, when using Email & searching for recipients the names of the previously
deleted contact lists are displayed.
How can I delete them from the drop down list?

That would depend on your Outlook version, which you did not post.
For the current version, remove the orphans here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change. >
