How to stop autofill of old (no longer valid) email address in a Calendar invite?

How do I stop Mac Calendar from autofilling an old, invalid email address for someone I want to invite? The address is for a person I invite to events regularly, so it is a real pain to have to manually override the invalid email address every time. I have deleted the telephone number from the person's contact entry and it still fills in the old address. Thank you for any help!

Hey LFPII,


If you have multiple Calendar accounts set up, it's possible that the saved autofill contact information is coming from an account other than the one you're using for Contacts. For example, if you have @gmail.com account set up for Calendars or Contacts that contact information may be stored with the @gmail.com account rather than in iCloud or on your device.
