Turn On Autocomplete In Outlook and How Do I Remove Old Autocomplete?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
I use Outlook and for the most part, I am very satisfied with it.  However, I have one problem with it that I can’t resolve on my own. My contacts never go away.  Even though I remove them from my contacts listing, they are still there.  They no longer appear in my contact listings, but appear when I attempt to send an e-mail.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
For example: when I begin typing an e-mail address beginning with a letter, a number of possible e-mail addresses pop up.  Some of these contain e-mails for people that I removed years ago. How do I permanently remove these names?</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Now Outlook should offer autocomplete options when you start typing addresses.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">

 </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
You’ll want to click on the Empty Auto Complete button. This will reset your Autocomplete list and empty out all of the old addresses.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify;">
This will clean out your newer addresses as well, but should learn them again pretty quickly as you send e-mails.</div>
