    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.

    Step 2. In the NGC folder delete all the files. To do so you must be logged as Administrator.

    These steps will remove your PIN, all you need to do its recreate it again following these steps.

    Step 1. Open Settings app by pressing Windows Key + I.

    Step 2. When Settings app opens, navigate to Accounts section.

    Step 3. From the menu on the left select Sign-in options

    Step 4. Click the Add button in the PIN section

    Step 5. Enter the desired PIN twice. Once you’re done, click OK to save changes.

    If you still having problems with this, I will be around to help you.
