Remove zsh autocomplete suggestion
When I type
cd l
and hit tab, zsh autocompletes to
cd lightdm/
this is not a directory that is available to me (in fact I've uninstalled lightdm).
How do I stop this from happening?
I have prezto installed.

This is probably the combination of the AUTO_NAME_DIRS and CDABLE_VARS options documented in zshoptions(1).
% PS1='%# ' zsh -f
% setopt AUTO_NAME_DIRS
% setopt CDABLE_VARS
% autoload -U compinit
% compinit
% cd a # was mashing tab here to no avail (nor asdf)
cd: no such file or directory: a
% hash -d asdf=/etc
% cd asdf/ # "cd a" now tab completes
(This was discovered by searching zshoptions for "dir" and "cd" related strings.)
To turn this off disable one or more of those options (unsetopt) or remove the variable(s) that the completion code is finding.

I ended up looking into .zhistory and deleting all references to lightdm this solved the problem for me. There maybe be other places zsh stores completions, but I don't know what they are.
