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?

    Hello, MarekSzczerba

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    If you need to delete a large number of contacts, you can click on one of them in Outlook, press Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard to select all of the contacts, and then delete them all at once.

    To delete all the items from the Deleted Items folder, you can empty the folder in Outlook.

    If you can't select all the contacts or empty the Deleted Items folder, please let me know, and I'll keep working on this issue.

    Best regards

    Hi.

    Thank you for your reply. Both links lead me to https://outlook.live.com/people/0/ I'm using microsoft 365 family. So I think it's not a work, it's personal.

    Believe me, there was no option to select more than 10 contacts. As you chose more than 10 is disappearing option to delete.

    I also called Microsoft support. They connected to my computer and no one could do it either. I had to do it manually - remove them 10 pcs. ....

    Hi MarekSzczerba,

    Thank you for posting on the Microsoft Community forums. I hope you're doing well.

    Based on your last response, you are unable to select more than 10 contacts to delete on Outlook.com web? Is that correct?

    Can you provide us a photo of how it looks like on your end? Please hash those email contacts for privacy.

    For the meantime, since you are accessing Outlook.com web, I would suggest to try on different browsers and see if it has the same problem.

    I look forward to your response.

    Best regards
