A distribution list name appears in my "To" box when I type the first few
letters and that list is no longer valid. But it isn't in my Global Address
List, and it's not in my Contacts. I can't figure out where it is stored.
How can I find it to delete it?

Thanks!

It's in your autocomplete file. When it appears, just highlight it and press
the "Delete" key...

Thanks - that worked! Led me to a follow up question though - how do I
manage the contents of the autocomplete file? In other words, I have a new
distribution list that doesn't appear via autocomplete when I type in the
first few letters. How do I insert it into the autocomplete file?

Your autocomplete cache is built up after you sent to a contact or DL. Once
you have sent to the DL, it should appear in your cached addresses.
