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?

    This does not work. You can only delete 10 contacts at a time. Microsoft badly needs to fix this as I need to delete all my contacts to re-upload the fixed CSV list.

    Microsoft os well known for bugs so doubt they are getting this and doing timepass and waste of all. I moved to Google as basic things in Microsoft does not work and worst are their support engineers who does not know how their own product works. This and thousands of bugs of Microsoft is proof.

    How ridiculous is Microsoft? After all this time and all these complaints, yet, here is me, another person facing this issue after a faulty import where the idiot import engine puts the company name as display name. Sad reality is we just keep using Microsoft products.
