Close any running copies of Microsoft Outlook.
Open Windows Explorer.
Make sure hidden files and folders are visible in Windows Explorer by navigating to Tools -> Folder Options -> Advanced Settings, and select "Show hidden files and folders."
Look in the directory \Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft Outlook for any files with the .NK2 extension. These are the nickname caches. (If they're not visible there, you may need to search the system for any files that match that extension.)
Rename the file to something else. For example, if the file name is Outlook.NK2, you could rename it to Outlook.NK2.bak.
Restart Microsoft Outlook. A new Microsoft Outlook nickname cache should now be rebuilt.

This is fine if you want to eliminate all of the names, but to clear just some of them is VERY easy. Just use the arrow down to the name you want to delete and press the DELETE button. Too simple...
