Old email address's that you wish to delete

[Richard Tasker]

When I want to send a new email to someone, and I type in their first name, a choice of email address's appear, including some old ones no longer in use.

How do I get rid of these old email adds out of the system.  I've deleted them from the Contacts lists, but its the ones that wern't on the Contacts lists that the system saves that keep showing up.

Any ideas folk?

Check for those addresses in "Other Contacts", not only in "My Contacts".

I am often fooled by an address that is in one but not the other.

1.  Here's an article ...

2.  One other thing, everyone keeps mentioning to check "Other Contacts".  Whenever I went into Gmail Contacts, I could never find "Other Contacts".  By trial and error, I found out you need to turn off Contacts Preview (left side, More, Leave the Contacts preview).  Voilà ... now I see Other Contacts and was finally able to delete the offending entry.

3.  Second other thing, had to bounce Chrome and Gmail .... finally it's gone.   Good luck!!!
