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?

    I had this problem with the New Outlook with MS Office 2021 (Cannot delete more than 10 after bad import) but by reverting to Classic Office I could delete all the contacts and start again.

    I created a new contacts folder in Classic Outlook and imported the contacts that I needed then I reverted to New Outlook.

    Personally the jury is out on which I prefer..

    Thanks so much. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Do you think I should delete Office 365 and Outlook and start over with an install of the Classic Office app? I'm going to search Microsoft for that app. If you have a direct link please post it. thanks again.

    I have 50000 deleted contacts in my deleted contact folder but it won't let me empty the deleted contacts folder in mass, it limits me to 50 contacts at a time. any ideas?

    This doesn't work for me. When I Select All in Contacts, the Delete button is greyed out. I also get the message that I have selected more than 10 contacts. I have 612 contacts. I'm having to go through selecting 10 at a time and deleting them like that, and sometimes I get a message saying that something didn't work and I have to try it again.
