Windows 10 Mail app cached address (auto-fill) wrong
Hello,
The Microsoft mail app for Windows 10 caches previously used addresses in much the same way Outlook does. A very handy feature. In Outlook you can right-click on an address and remove it from the cache, or even purge the cache entirely. Can this be done with the Mail app as well? I need to remove an address which was entered incorrectly but is now persistently reappearing in favour of the correct address (which I have to type out in full each time since the error was in the very last letter).
I don't mind removing the entire cache if that is what has to be done.

Tried the command in an elevated PowerShell (which is what I think you meant) and the app remained installed. Store said it was already there and so did the 'Apps & features' part of settings.
Running the command 'get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunic
Any further suggestions?
