Tip: Delete Bad E-mail Suggestions from Outlook's Auto-Complete

With the bad e-mail highlighted, I now hit "Delete" and the suggestion will be gone!

I've always wondered how to delete an old outdated e-mail address from Outlook's sometimes helpful auto-complete function that kicks in when typing a name or e-mail into "To:".

It's actually maddeningly simple:

In Outlook, compose a new message. Start typing a name into the To: area. When an outdated/bad e-mail comes up, use the arrow keys to highlight the bad e-mail, then hit "Delete". That's it!
