Or for a more refreshing day, just delete the NK2 file, and start from scratch :-)

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.
