Safari persisting in autofilling old email address in forms

Avatar Tricia Gray
Apologies if I haven't worded the subject and/or my description correctly. I used to serve on a committee which had email addresses for all the officers e.g. programme.secretary@my organisation.com. My term finished so someone else filled the post and I deleted all reference to the address as pertaining to me in Contacts and anywhere else I could think of but Safari persists in suggesting this address at the top of its list when I am filling in info on websites. Any thought on how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Tricia, at risk of stating the obvious, have you tried clearing the relevant settings in Safari itself (Settings>AutoFill>user names and passwords)?

You could try deleting the names from previous recipients in the mail program that might work

Previous Recipients is under the Window Menu and is probably the culprit.

Thank you all for the replies. Unfortunately I had tried the suggestions before asking the question, but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if there was a plist somewhere I could edit but can't find any. Ventura seems good at hiding things I used to be able to find easily.
My iMac cannot be upgraded beyond Ventura so I don't know if the more recent operating systems are more user friendly (the cynic in me says probably not!)

I would have thought Stuart's suggestion would be the one to fix it - assuming you've deleted it from your Contact card.

Yes, so would I.
