How to edit wrong autocompletion in kmail / akonadi ?

I have a few typos and old addresses which keep popping up as automatic completion each time I'm composing an email with kmail.

The official kmail FAQ solution has no effect. The problematic addresses seems to be stored in akonadi, as hinted by the "contacts found in your data" header and confirmed by disabling "use recent addresses for autocompletion" in kmail settings does not prevent the "contacts found in your data" from popping up.

I searched the web but found nothing related to this particular akonadi issue, I went through akonadi settings I know of but I found no way to configure autocompletion and lastly I tried looking directly into akonadi database to see if I could simply remove them manually but I failed to understand the structure and where those addresses are (also I didn't want to mess with this).

Any idea how to fix this ?

Re: How to edit wrong autocompletion in kmail / akonadi ?

I asked for help on the kde forums, turns out these are not stored in akonadi but with balooand the solution consist in wiping the whole index. The way to achieve this depends on the kdepim version.

For version 4.13.4 which is the one I have right now, rename the ~/.local/share/baloo/emailContacts directory and there's no more addresses suggestions from baloo.
