Help to delete unknow contacts from e-mail

[carol80]

Hi, I use Gmail. When I send an email at the bottom it has "sent from mail for windows 10"
My problem is when I put the first letter of the person I want to send an email too it shows me a list of contacts. Only 1 or 2 are my contacts so how do I get rid of the extra's as many of them seem to be spam accounts.
I have checked my contacts through Gmail and it tells me I only have 42 contacts. After checking them this is correct.
Hope you can understand what I want to do. I am not a techy person so simple instructions would be appreciated if you can help

Click on Help (the question mark symbol on the top menu)
Scroll down until you see "Edit or Delete Contacts"

Thank you for your reply.
Just one problem, I don't have a question mark.
I will get a screenshot this afternoon and post it here.

Have you got this, Carol?

Top right and click for the drop down.

No sorry, I do not have that.

Here are 3 screenshots. When I click on mail (highlighted) it takes me to Outlook. It asks me to sign up.

Do you not sign into Gmail directly then?

No. I just click on the envelope on the bar at the bottom.

If you went into Gmail directly, you'd be able to get the ? mark up and delete your unwanteds.
