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?

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

    I had the same problem. I'm on a mac book pro revert your outlook back to Legacy. Select the help section of your browser. Once that is done go to contacts and hold shift+A then delete. Then revert back to the new version. It worked for me! I tried to add a screenshot but it will not upload.

    I'm having the same issue. I need to delete over 1200 contact and when I select all, the delete option disappears with a message saying "you have selected more than 10 contacts". Nothing else is offered.

    I need to delete all my contacts at once.

    The most stupid thing I've ever faced, did Microsoft people ever think before acting? I tried to import contacts from another account where I have duplicate contacts. in google I just run merge and fix and it merged duplicate contacts in outlook this option is removed and I can't delete all contacts and import them again so I have now 4500 contacts where I should only have about 1500.
