Didn't work instantly . As you said if the contacts don' get deleted automatically after 24hrs then what to do then?

Do you have a solution then ? 

Can this work?

I delete my account and data completely and then recover my id after some day . Will data still be there .

Tell me what you think .

Nope

The deleted contacts that outlook.com added by itself from the google account came back (some of them). I reconnected the google account and the google contacts folder came back... it got populated with the contacts... and when it finished syncing, they just disappeared... That's amazing... alll of them, I didn't do anything.

Since then I've deleted all my contacts again... (the ones that come back when they feel like it). I deleted them using the IE6 trick (again), I disconnected the google account and I hope I have no contacts. I'll wait for some time to see if the contacts come back unexpectedly or not (it's never all of them, just some) and then... if they  don't come back, I'll try to reconnect the google account... and then see if they don't disappear out of the blue.

Just in case someone's is getting lost.

The contacts folder (not he google contacts) is empty but it gets populated with some of my google account contacts even when the google account is disconnected. I delete them and they come back as I said it's never all of them, just some. They also appear to be linked to some google contacts that I do not have because I've disconnected the account and deleted all of them. So they're link with the contacts in a folder that doesn't exist.

When I do connect the account, the google account folder is there again, it gets populated with ALL my google contacts and when it finishes syncing... voilà, all of them disappear. The folder remains but empty... and no matter how much I wait, they never get back... 

I know it's seems crazy, but it's not. It's a fricking mess that Microsoft is not caring about.

I have the same exact problem!  Have you received an answer?

Hi DeputyDog65

Suddenly my "Contactos de google" folder disappeared. I didn't even had to delete it using the IE6 trick. Yet the icon showing that I'm connected to Google is still there, but I have disconnected the account and it must be, because when I visit the connect with other accounts page it shows there...

Weirdly enough some (not all) my Outlook.com contacts (that somehow were added from the Google account when it was connected) have come back. When the problem with a messy contacts list started I deleted all these contacts, but they keep on coming back (some) from time to time... even if (thanks to your help) I was able to delete the corrupted Google Contacts list... This is unbelievable. I just can't understand what going on... microsoft seems to be focusing on getting rid of its faithful users, which I've been since I created my first hotmail account that I still keep.

Hope you have more luck.

Thank you for your help.

PS. I have deleted all my contacts again... hopefully they won't come back and who knows, maybe someday outlook.com decides to note that I have disconnected the Google Account...
