Microsoft Outlook cache your data as you work. Typically, creating and storing cache helps Outlook to ramp up its operations. For instance, while you compose an email and specify a destination for it, the address of that particular destination gets cached to the memory as soon as you hit the Send button. The cached information automatically appears as a suggestion when you do a similar entry next time. Cache memory holds the data/key events most frequently entered by the user.
With each entry made by the user, the data gets accumulated into the cache, and over time it occupies a huge memory space in Outlook, which eventually affects the overall performance of the application. Fortunately, you can clear the cache storage whenever there is a performance issue due to the overloading of data. Moreover, clearing cache helps you get rid of auto-suggestions when you reinstall the application.
To clear the cache memory, first you need to find the location where the Outlook's cache data gets stored. Once you located the directory, you can easily clear the data by deleting the entries in the folder. To do the task more precisely, follow the instructions given below:
The above method clears the complete cache history of your Outlook application. In case, you want to clear individual entries or the Autocomplete cache data, you can do it manually by going through the following Steps.
Sometimes users just want to get rid of an individual entry from the auto-suggestions thrown by the cache.
Outlook facilitates removing individual entries as you work with forms like emails and contacts. All you have to do is compose an email and remove the auto-suggestions that pops-out while typing the destination email address.

Sometimes users share information very frequently which leads to too many auto-suggestions popping out while typing names. A short way to remove all the suggestions is to clear the auto-complete cache data at once.
Regular performance issues can be sorted easily by clearing the cache memory, but Outlook also face issues like duplication of data. Many users have repeatedly reported that their Inbox still shows the mails that are either deleted or are moved to some other folder.
Duplicate data such as emails and contacts can consume unnecessary space in your Outlook mailbox and can slow down the application. Unfortunately, Outlook doesn't provide any direct measure to delete duplicate data from your mailbox. You have to look out for third-party resources to filter your duplicate items and remove them permanently from your mailbox.
