When typing an email address suggestions pop up. However, many are wrong. How do I correct them?

As directed, I open settings however ... none of the choices mentioned in instructions appear.

1- Under Select Addresses and more. = shows only street addresses - no email.

2- select “Profile” and then click “Personal Information” = no Personal Information link

Microsoft Edge | Profile, sync, and sign in | Windows 10

    Hi!

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum.

    Can you tell me is this a specific area or website that you go into using Microsoft Edge or Outlook or something else? Also, are you looking for your own email address to appear or someone else?

    Can I confirm if you have cleared the Autofill data? This should remove incorrect autofill suggestions. You need to clear it up first to remove wrong autofill suggestion first.

    Next, open Edge again and press Ctrl + Shift + Delete. The option box will appear. There will be a dropdown asking you what time range will you delete(ALL TIME). Scroll down and you will find the check box for "Autofill form data (includes forms and cards)" - These are the details showing up as suggestions every time you will fill up something in edge. You can Click Clear now to wipe it.

    This is the first thing to check if there are saved details in your profile.

    Open Edge and copy this to the address bar edge://settings/personalinfo or edge://settings/addresses

    Review any saved addresses/contact information.

    Next, open Edge again and press Ctrl + Shift + Delete. The option box will appear. There will be a dropdown asking you what time range will you delete(it's up to you). Scroll down and you will find the check box for "Autofill form data (includes forms and cards)" - These are the details showing up as suggestions every time you will fill up something in edge. You can Click Clear now to wipe it.

    This removes stored form-entry suggestions, including email addresses. Again, the suggestions that appears are the entries you have saved or recently used in Edge.
