How do I delete a distribution list - Outlook 2007 Office Professi

[Jonni]

I have looked everywhere and I'm either blind or Microsoft doesn't have this
in their help. How do I delete a distribution list? I understand how to
delete contacts, but I want to delete the entire list?

Thanks a bunch.

Go to your Contacts folder, find the distribution list and delete it from
there. That should work for the last few versions of Outlook but just to
check, what version of Outlook are you using?

Vince is correct unless you're referring to a distribution list in the
Global Address List (provided by an Exchange server).

I'm on Office Professional 2007 and using the "regular" Contacts, not the
Business Contact Manager. The distribution list name doesn't appear in the
Contacts list with my other contact folders, nor does it appear in the
Address Book. I've wasted lots of time today trying to figure this out. The
distribution list exists because when I can type that name in the To line on
an email. Thanks for your help!

If you really did create a distribution list then it WILL be there. Type in
the name of the d/l in the search box in Contacts...

You are confusing the autocompletion cache with your Contacts. They are not
related. You have already deleted the Distribution List. You have not
deleted the entry from your autocompletion cache. To do so, use the arrow
key to select it and hit your Delete key.
