I have upgraded from Outlook express (in Win xp) to Windows live mail (in win 7 professional), while importing contact , i have done it 2 times, now i want to delete duplicate contacts in one shot. Not step by step , becoz i have 4000 contacts. I can eaisly do it by deleting all and then importing once again. but it has MSN contacts also, it says while deleting MSN contacts will delete. So I am worried, becoz first I need to take backup of MSN contacts. So I am looking for a simple process

    Hi Rajiv,

    Please try these 2 options in Deleting/Clearing duplicate contacts:

    1. Open your Live Mail.

    Click Contacts on the lower left corner of your page.

    3. Click Clean up contacts on the Home Tab before your name, this will lead you to connect on your web page account.

    4. Click Save.

    Or

    1. Sign in to People

    2. Click Manage.

    3. Click Clean up contacts.

    4. Click Save and continue button.

    Hope these helps.

    Thanks!
