how to delete more than 10 contacts in outlook 365, how to delete more than 50 contacts in outlook 365

This is conceivable. I've been using Apple and iCloud for the last 15 years. For some time I wanted to check how to work on WIN 11. For mail and contacts, I chose Outlook in 365.

Something bad happened in the contact database and I had to delete them all to upload new ones. I had almost 3000 of them and now attention:

To do this, you need to delete them with 10 pcs. !

Then, to delete them from the deleted folder, you need to delete with 50 pcs.

It is unlikely that it lacks such basic features that have been present for a long time in google and iCloud.

Can anyone answer the question why this is so?

    This is what I'm facing, too. Terrible coding in Link to Windows results in about 600 contacts being over 20000 instead, with many duplicates all tagged with "(contacts synced by Link to Windows)". There should be an easy way to delete all of them, but nope. Just criminal. Microsoft should have to compensate all of us for the time it will take to recovery from this bug.

    Hi MarekSzczerba,

    Thanks for getting back.

    Upon further research, it was found that this is a limitation on Outlook.com. As stated on this support article, you cannot delete more than 10 contacts on Outlook.com at a time. Please see this article here for referrence. Delete contacts or restore contacts in Outlook.com - Microsoft Support

    Furthermore, I would suggest to provide a feedback directly to our developers through the Feedback option on the Outlook.com. In Outlook on the web, select the question mark****icon at the top right and then select Feedback.

    Best regards,

    I'm not sure but I can tell you that I did get a mac book pro with the new outlook installed and there is an option to revert to the legacy version. If you open up your outlook on a mac select the help section at the top of your screen and it will say revert to legacy. Here is a screen shot hope that helps.

    Easy fix if you can:

    Revert back to the old version of outlook and delete. It will sync to 0 in the new version and you can start over or upload what you want!

    I do not work for microsoft but this worked for me.
