Hi,

I need to remove contacts of gmail from outlook.com people. I have posted this problem in this thread

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/mail-people/i-need-remove-google-contacts-urgent/1a49dda4-ae2a-474a-b15c-17ba84ab0364?page=4

and I was asked by Forum moderators Alden D. and John Paul M. to create a new thread so that a moderator can properly address to me. Now I am waiting for a moderator to address to me.

The problem I am facing is I am unable to remove gmail contacts from outlook.com account. Many people seems to have the same problem

Br,

    Yes, I've got the same problem. It's annoying because its clutter, and also those contacts are not updated when the accounts are not linked anymore. Especially in the case of Facebook, where there isn't an option to link accounts anymore but I still have those contacts in my outlook, becoming obsolete. There should be a way to manually delete them and clean up your lists but clearly there isn't.

    Same issue here. I've de-linked ALL outside accounts and i STILL have Google and LinkedIn showing in my Outlook People list. Screenshot attached. I would have contacted support directly but I was 68th in line and it was moving at the rate of one person per 10 minutes.....!

    So to be very clear to the support people assisting in this forum, tell me exactly how to delete "Google Contacts" and "Twitter Contacts" from the list below.

    I've been having the same issues as everyone else. Mine is with my other social media contacts though (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype) and have had no such look finding a solution in the other threads. Can someone private message me and help me get rid of the unwanted contacts on my account?
