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?

    It's an erratic behavior. I did a sync with smartphone and all my contacts was copied to outlook. So I decided to unsync, and voilá. Let's remove 400+ contacts, but how? LOL, it seems microsoft dev team didn't test this scenario.

    The 'delete' button (don't know the exact name in english) was disabling even in some tries with a few contacts selected.

    I suffered but managed to remove them all and I swear I will never use this product again. Good luck to Microsoft! 👋

    Malwarebytes reports that the links likely contain a Trojan.

    I tried nfhartmanns method, but it did not work for me.

    What I did find, was that I could now select 50 email at a time for deletion. This seems to be enough for my purposes. Probably will take three tranches.

    I have just wasted a lot of time checking all my obsolete or duplicate email contacts. Now I cannot delete them! Ridiculous. My solution: Forget about Outlook Mail and go back to Thunderbird and/or Gmail.
