Help Who are all those people on my email list?

I have a Samsung Tab A. When I forward an email to someone and type the first letter of their name, in addition to the person I'm forwarding to, a whole bunch of names show up. They aren't people I know; they aren't people I've ever written to. How do I get rid of all these names?
 
They must be coming from your e-mail history in some form. Do you use Gmail?

Try going to this link in Gmail:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#contacts

Or this "Google Contacts" address:
https://contacts.google.com/

Or the "Other Contacts" page on Google contacts:
https://contacts.google.com/u/0/other

And deleting any contacts that have been stored that you don't want to show in auto-complete. When you send or receive e-mail from a contact, Google may automatically add them back in to "Other Contacts" and I haven't found a way to prevent this or manage these contacts in bulk.
 
Thank you for your response, Rob. I don't use Gmail when I am writing notes or forwarding letters. I think It must be something to do with my Samsung tablet .
