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?)

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Contacts

    Why does microsoft have to be so unintuitive?! There are only three events in the life of an entity: create, modify and delete!!!!!

    RESOLVED:

    Go into Skype, not via. a Browser, on Desktop > Contacts > right-click contact(s) you wish to delete > click "Remove from Contacts".

    This has to be done through this medium as "Outlook People" does not enable you to delete contact through there. Your contacts are linked in from Skype. An account of which you already have when you sign up with either an @outlook.com, @live.com or @hotmail.com domains with Microsoft.

    So true, Lately all their software user interface is user hostile. They seem lately just to hear their own corporate selfs with endless software hardware missteps.

    They need to get back to core values: Customers (Consumer and Corporate)

    When company only hears their own rhetoric they are on the decline.

    Hi,

    We're sorry for the inconvenience. Are you trying to delete  a contact? Please be guided that the Deletecommand on People won't appear unless you select a contact. Please take note that deleting a Facebook contact  on your account is not possible. For added information please refer to JMH3143. MS - MVP and RuthHarris's post.

    Should you have further questions, feel free to ask.

    Thanks!
