Unable to delete contacts.

I called Microsoft's 800 number for technical support and they say that the only support is Microsoft Community.

The Microsoft representative says that this is the only forum or place to get help.  Are there any Microsoft employees who can help me with my Hotmail/Outlook.com issue?

I am not able to delete contacts from my Hotmail/Outlook.com account.   (And, yes, I have cleared my cache, I've got the latest browser versions, the  issue is the same on multiple computers with various browsers.) 

Can ANYONE help me???????

(Original title: hotmail/outlook.com won't let me delete contacts, what do I do?)

    Nasty design.  I want to control what is/not in my contacts list, however it got there.

    Even though I was able to delete contacts in Linkedin, Facebook, gmail and others, the old email address of someone I email often still pops up and I always have to be careful to make sure that I don't click on that one, and look for the right email address. This is so annoying. I want to delete all contacts from popping up when I go to send an email except for the one's that are currently valid. I get emails from people saying "Please stop sending email to that old address" and I have to tell them that it is because of the auto complete function of outlook that won't let me get rid of outdated email addresses.

    You are seriously wrong. The other accounts which you say Outlook People only "points" to have been edited, deleted, cleaned, updated, or whatever. The contacts reflected in Outlook People are no where close to current status of contacts in Google Gmail.
