Displays mix of number and contact names. Used to display Names only. It's free, so I guess I get what I pay for?

    How did you manage to delete them? On outlook.com? It's not a list, it is a Category, and I have not found a way to delete my 12 000 contacts other than one by one, with a confirmation question in between.

    it showed up in my contacts view, as a separate list. if the extras are in the default list, I dont recall a solution. I'm referring to the PC side. on the android side they aren't discernable I think. sorry

    I also couldn't delete the category. I had to delete the 1000 extra contacts one by one, or I think you can choose 10 at a time? I don't recall.

    Yep, you can select 10 at a time, but not all of the contacts are deletable - the delete icon at the right stays dimmed out if you happen to select an undeletable one. Randomly some cannot be deleted. Even if selecting 10 at a time, it would take a full day to delete them all...

    This is what I see in my Outlook. The "Wayne's Ga..." is made by PhoneLink. At one point I had 8-10 of these. I deleted them all, but not the Contact folder. These are called "folders" by my Outlook. I have numerous other folders, not shown, for contacts associated with my various employment and activities that I no longer need to use frequently.

    I'm afraid this is a bit of the deaf signing to the deaf, so to speak. Whatever PhoneLink's problem is, I don't think it is a short between our headphones, either.
