I'd like to delete an e-mail from the previous recipients list. It keeps popping up when it's no longer in the address book and is no longer the desired e-mail address. FYI, the fix for the 2003 version of Outlook doesn't appear to work.
If no joy, The names are kept in a NK2 file. With Outlook close, search for *.NK2 and rename the file. When Outlook opens, a new one should be created once a user types a name in the To field.
.NK2 file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder. It is a hidden file. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders". Click OK.
In Vista, location is C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook folder. To unhide hidden folders, go to Organize | Folder and Search Options | View tab and select Show hidden files and folders
You would rename the fle instead of delete it. Rename because you may need some data from file later.
You would delete or rename the NK2 file to remove the bad names in the file. Outlook will recreate a new file once you type a new name in the To field and send the email.
