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

Microsoft has been so adamant about fixing this small issue ... They make it seem like it's a big deal.

For Christ's sake , can't Microsoft make outlook better ?..

First of all, outlook messes the contacts sync big time , contacts get duplicated big time , from 1400 contacts , I now have 7000 contacts.. Microsoft expects me to delete them in clusters of 10.

So frustrating.

Google and Samsung are far better when it comes to contacts handling.

soapbox .... spelled with small caps ....

I'm Totally Dismayed .. Microsoft cannot answer a simple question ... over with over a year of people asking the same question without any clue as to when a solution will be available ... actually, there has not been ONE response from an expert that even sounds like they understand the question ... its like the developers don't know what they did and neither does anyone else .. Not even sure anyone from Microsoft has looked at the New Outlook not to mention the Classic Outlook product .. maybe it was developed by a Google Docs Engineer somewhere on the Moon... Hello This is Earth Calling....

The trick to delete contacts when switching back to Outlook Classic only works on that database file. When going back to New Outlook, a different contacts database is at play. Classic and New are totally different and do not interact. Do not be fooled by the fact emails seems or appear to track... Not convinced its true yet ... there are some quarky things happening with email... Not to mention Calendar ...

I'm totally frustrated and now that I switched and left Gmail ... Microsoft has totally scaled back any productivity I thought I would gain ... what a sales pitch I bought into hook line & sinker ....

And if this is a confusing issue ... don't even attempt to ask this same question using CoPilot ...

It sort of works but limits you to 50 contacts. Much better than 10 but far from useful if you have 100's of contact and or duplicates.

Yes, I agree that this is absolutely insane and ridiclulous to have to only delete 10 at time...why is there a limitation on this...so, idiotic. What's even sadder is that you can see the date of the original post and it's been over a year since it it posted and all these people are disgusted. You would think the powers that be at Microsft would get up off their **** and fix it!!

Hi Yuhao Li,

Sorry, but this doesn't work. When selecting all there is no possibility to delete .... Only with less numbers (like 10)
