Auto fill not my email addresses

This is a many years old account/install with Netscape/Firefox, now 116.0.1, 64-bit Windows.

When offered a box for email step 1 login -- this site, for example -- FF auto fill offers my correct address first, but then there are two offered below that in the auto fill offers that are not mine.

How can I access where those are stored and remove those erroneous or mal email addresses?

Searching here infers the Profile; yes, my first guess, but my Profile is 725 MB ... so any hints available?

Suggestions in a login drop-down menu that have a key icon in front are login suggestions that you need to remove in the Password Manager.

Suggestions in a drop-down menu without a key symbol are autocomplete saved form data. Suggestions without a key icon are part of autocomplete saved form data that you should be able to remove by selecting this item with the cursor Down key and pressing Delete (Mac: Shift+Delete).

There was no key symbol next to the addresses.

So the solution was the second link:

This is comforting help.
