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?

    Is this a joke ? I tried to delete 3400 contacts with a lot of patient, 50 contacts per delete, then 10 contacts per delete.

    This started because there is a problem with double and triple entry contacts.

    Next day i logged in and the contacts where still there. Please fix this, it is extremelly dificult to use and very annoying.

    Really annoying. Microsoft need to create a de duplication system. I’m switching to Zoho or at least gmail allows the removal and merging of duplicates. Outlook is way behind.

    Hi Yuhao Li,

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

    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!!
