I'm inclined to agree with the "fire and pitchforks".

You'd be better off to rename it.

That is their address book..in their minds.  There will be fire and pitch forks.

I believe you can just delete the files that start with 'stream_autocomplete in 
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache

Test that, and wait for someone else to say I am crazy, or not.

Subject: [Exchange] Crosspost: clearing the autocomplete cache

Recently, we did a cleanup of proxy addresses that were no longer needed.  
Unfortunately, this has caused an issue with our users, as some of their 
autocomplete entries are using the old, now gone, proxy addresses.  I've been 
directed to clear everyone's autocomplete cache.  I found a quick and easy 
command to do this, but it opens Outlook in order to perform the clean.  
(outlook.exe /CleanAutoCompleteCache).  Having Outlook open spontaneously, or a 
second instance opening, would be very disconcerting and worrisome for our 
users, so I'd like to find a way to clean the cache, without opening Outlook.  
Does anyone have a method?

For the most part, all users are using Outlook 2016, but there are a few 2013, 
and 2010.

Thanks,
