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?

    BRILLIANT. This worked for me. Over 6000 deleted at once from three contacts books. Had to refresh a few times.

    MANY MANY MANY thanks!

    I'm dealing with the exact same problem. It's unbelievable that such a feature missing in Outlook.com in 2023. It's been six months since OP posted this question and Microsoft did nothing.

    doesn't work.. i don't see my outlook.com contacts from the outlook pc client.

    seems like a feature MS put in on purpose.. its no wonder people don't want to use it as their main contacts list.

    i'm sticking to Google.. and i'm going to delete 10 at a time, even if it takes me forever to delete 2,500 contacts.

    big regret syncing over my Google contacts to outlook.com

    I'm not a usual Outlook person (usually Gmail on a Mac)... I got Outlook 365 with a GoDaddy domain/account. I can't revert to an older version of Outlook if I didn't start with that older version, can I?

    (I appreciate as a non MS staff that you took the time to weigh in.)

    There is no Delete option and all it tells me is you have selected 300 contacts.
