Autofill phone number is wrong

Where is Firefox storing autofill phone number information other than the addresses?

Firefox keeps filling my phone number field on forms with an weird number string. And I haven't been able to find it or correct it despite deleting all history and removing all addresses.

I've searched the forums but haven't found a post on this issue.

That could be the form filler built into Firefox. Click in the field, enter a character or two and STOP ! Using the arrow keys, highlight an unwanted entry. Then press Shift > Delete Repeat as needed.

Do any of these links help you? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms

Thanks, FredMcD. I must be doing that delete wrong but I'll keep trying!

(Thanks for the links. They were ones I'd already tried and weren't seeming to answer my question.)
