Why is it that when I address an email, an address that is no longer stored,
or was never saved, pops up for a address suggestion? I find this very
annoying.

I have deleted numerous contacts but the addresses, and some I never saved,
pop up when I address an email -- usually being the wrong addresses.

How do I get rid of the addresses I don't have in my contacts or personal
address book?
 
You did not post your Outlook version.
I will assume it is among the version that support autocompletion. If so the
autocompletion cache is where the addresses are stored.
Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here:
