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?)
Organizing and accessing contact information in Outlook.com
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Angry that Microsoft came along and destroyed a simple and effective platform like Hotmail? Yes! They saw it as just another advertising stream and who cares if dependable function is abrogated in the name of more revenue. Hotmail has been subsumed into Outlook and now neither one works very well.
Man! I had that app until just now. I too was continuously being locked out of accounts and had many syncing issues as well. It bugged me as I have 6 e-mails that I use frequently for various things.
Deleting this .apk is a good idea.
You obviously seem angry. It's not the end of the world this one problem that people have been having. In my case, I was able to rectify the problem myself.
I 100% agree with you that more needs to be done with the maintenance of Microsoft's many services. After all, as someone studying project analysis work, maintenance is when a project begins on the customer-end. Not just develop, test and publish to later forget about it.
It's been awhile since I visited this. I went back and tried deleting the contacts it hadn't allowed me to delete before. Suddenly, I could. The only difference I know about is that I got rid of the outlook app on my android. Too many issues. It was locking up and automatically syncing things I didn't want synced. Now, I use bluemail for my phone and my People/Contacts is behaving itself again. I am thinking this must have to do with syncing Outlook on more than one device.
Yes I too been having issues trying to clear out/delete old contacts several times as each time I removed them off my phone Microsoft Outlook re-added them. MSN is next to Facebook in their lack of support or ability to repair their email issues or any other.Too bad and they wonder why people leave their service in droves.If they offers a repair app or patch at least you could fix it yourself but they cannot seem to care period.Bill Gates is too busy causing havoc with his useless OS Windows 10.Which when upgraded from Windows 7 locked out all my USB controls rendering my hard drive totally useless.No support on a patch or fix because after all,how can you initiate it without a mouse,keyboard or USB drive? I vote Microsoft as the most useless software or operating systems ever lately. Some of the best OS like Windows XP and Windows 7 were too reliable so bye bye.If not for Apples over priced hardware or software I would be running Macintosh.Thank you Microsoft for your excellent customer service an ability to repair your software glitches so quickly, "NOT".This concludes my rant for the day.Looks like it is up to the users to find solutions to repair crappy Microsoft issues.
