| Deleting an address from "autofill" | jim.hofmann | 09/08/21 7:17 | A contact recently changed his email address. The change from the previous one (which is now deactivated) is such that it went from xxx...@wherever.com to xxxxx...@someotherplace.com Whenever I start to type his address into the gmail "TO" box |

| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | jim.hofmann | 09/08/21 8:21 | Thanks. I feel like a big dope. That's what that contacts button is for. |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | jrobinson | 09/09/17 15:25 | What about folks that arent in your contact lists at all? Google autofills the addresses that you have sent to before regardless of if they are in your contacts. Can you please tell me how to delete autofilled emails from this dropdown list? |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | carsonmatt | 09/10/07 14:57 | Yup, I'm having the same issue. Did you find a fix? I've changed the contact and it didn't make a difference. In outlook you can hit delete when the autofill suggestion comes up. |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | pnollner | 09/11/07 8:20 | john...i tried your suggestion, it did not work...i have now deleted the incorrect contact and have cleared all cookies and my cache...the old, incorrect email address continues to appear in the auto-fill during "compose"...any other ideas before i s |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | dustumbleweed | 09/11/21 8:32 | I have found that sometimes I have multiple 'contact' addresses in my list. Try typing in the erroneous e-mail in search of your contact list and see if reveals itself. I found my worst occurance (my sister-in-law, who never e-mailed me back), delete |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | Lisa3062 | 09/11/23 14:36 | I had the same problem. Go to CONTACTS. (Note that within CONTACTS, there is MY contacts and ALL contacts). Go to ALL CONTACTS and delete away! Hope this helps. |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | arleneepting | 09/12/18 8:57 | YAY! Thanks Lisa! It works. Just be careful, do NOT "select"all in the middle top or you may delete all your contacts in that category. You must go 1/2 way down on the left side where it says "all contacts" and then "most contacted" and make sure to |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | cindybecerra | 10/05/25 9:14 | Thanks dustumbleweed...best answer!. Typing the erroneous email into the 'search' in Contacts brought up the contact and it did not show before I searched for it. When I deleted the searched for email, it no longer showed in my auto fill. Way to g |

| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | NexWest | 10/09/15 10:09 | Solved. Copy the address to your contacts using the Add to "My Contacts" button. Then using the More Actions button, Delete Contact. |
| Re: Deleting an address from "autofill" | jdusti1 | 10/10/30 22:35 | I had the same problem and found that instead of "all contacts" these old email addresses were stored in "other contacts". I deleted them from that group and it worked perfectly!!!!!!!! :) |
