Ghost contact Outlook in Office XP

Whenever I type a name that was in a previous address
book in Outlook, it fills in the old e-mail address.
When looking at Properties, I get the following
message: "the name or distribution list has been deleted
and is longer a valid Address Book entry". Evidently
this was a problem with earlier versions of Outlook for
which there are work arounds but I have not found a
solution for Office XP. I would like to remove the ghost
contact from my address book.

Any suggestions?
 
I too am very frustrated by this same problem. Found no
mention in knowledge base. Today stumbled upon possible
workaround: 1) Add the old email address to Contacts and
save; 2) then delete that new saved contact from
Contacts. It seems to have eliminated the autofill using
old address. Let us know if someone finds a better
solution.
 
You need to provide more details on exactly what you are doing when you get
that error message.
I'm not certain you are dealing with the same issue here.
