You can delete these extra email addresses from Outlook.

When you begin typing an email address and the list appears, use the down
arrow key to select an email address.  Then push the Delete button, and it's
gone!

I wus wrong!

Autocomplete isn't stored in the .pst.  I've just come across this:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/outlook_nk2_edit.html

NK2Edit v1.29
Every time that you type an email address or name in the message window of
MS-Outlook, it 
automatically offer you a list of users and email address that you can
choose. This feature is 
known as 'AutoComplete' and Outlook automatically build this emails list
according to user 
activity and save it into a file with .NK2 extension.
In some circumstances, you may need to fix or modify the values appeared in
the 
AutoComplete list, or you may want to remove unwanted email addresses and/or
to add new 
email addresses. MS-Outlook doesn't provide any ability to edit this
AutoComplete list, so this 
is where NK2Edit software can help you.

NK2Edit is a real NK2 editor that allows you to modify all fields in NK2
file, delete unwanted 
records, add new records, repair corrupted nk2 files, merge 2 or more NK2
files into a single 
NK2 file, and more... 

....
NK2Edit can read, write, and create NK2 files for Outlook 2003, Outlook
2007, and Outlook 
2010 Beta.
