When an email comes in from another person, the contact information
automatically goes into my contact list. If their contact list has a
mistake on it, it appears in my contact list. Then when I type a person's
name for a future email, the wrong name comes up in the list with the right
ones. Sometimes I click the wrong one by mistake. How do you get rid of
these extra emails ? They don't even show up in the contact list at all.
 
Outlook does not and cannot do this. Provide the evidence that made you
think it does. You must be running some other software.
 
It sounds like the autocomplete field, not the contact list. Use the arrow
keys to select the bad entries and press Del.

Except the autocomplete cache only stores recipients, not all senders.
