The same issue using Win 10 Mail App. However, there's no X on the right side to cancel out. I tried highlighting and using the delete key which did nothing. Same problem on my Android Phone with Outlook app.
What version of Outlook are you using here? I have windows 10 outlook and the interface is completely different. The dropdown automatic suggestion box does not have a delete "x" after the addresses. And I cannot delete wrong addresses.I
If the version of Outlook you have doesn't show an 'x' beside the incorrect email address, don't worry, just make sure the email address you want to delete is highlighted (mine was blue) and press the delete key on your keyboard.... That worked for me anyway... Hope that helps...
Do not get an "X" next to name when it auto fills but do get a menu and one selection says "remove" but it only removes the name from the email not the auto-fill.
I tried this on Outlook and after highlighting the wrong address and clicking the x, it disappeared but came right back after I tried to delete the next one. I also tried using the delete key after highlighting, but they just kept coming back!
thank you. A friend keeps sending email to me at a bad (inconvenient-for-me) email address and I need to help him stop doing that. This should help me.
It did not work for me. Some how the address I put in has Parentheses on each end of the address. How that happened is beyond me. Frustrating. I have to send emails to this person in about ten days.
Sorry, what? Do you mean delete the contact information? You can go to Contacts and do that! Or do you mean delete the email itself? Just delete the email.
Thanks you solved my problem. For others, you do need to save the email after deleting the invalid entry.

Very clear and therefore easy to understand instructions. Thank you Claire.
Thank Ms. Cate, you have made my life less miserable!

Thank you so much for this video. You have just eliminated me from any potential disaster because of this annoyance.

exactly. this video example is good but does not address the issue of having only ONE wrong e-mail address as opposed to one right and one wrong.
Ooommmmggggg this is the video I’ve been searching for!!! Thank youuuuu!!!
Clear and concise. I will look you up for other help! I am in Vancouver island.
Thank you . That was very helpful and helped with this very annoying situation.
Saved a potentially very embarrassing error. Thanks!

This does not work for Outlook 360! It will not let me delete it
The problem, I don't get any of those windows you just displayed in my outlook in win 10.
So useful to know thank you
What if you are not using Outlook?
Another way to delete wrong address: Open windows Flag, select Mail and open accounts, type and delete
