Cannot delete a contact in Outlook

Hey partner, THERE IS NO CONTACTS BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW.......

You are fight re Microsoft not caring about problems. Never had any trouble with the classic version of Outlook. think I will switch back if I can fkigure out how to do so. Having probolems with Excel also: the damn cursor has changed to a cross and ALL THE "FIXES" do not work. to go back to my arrow.

Hi Folks,

I have come to the concusion that Microsoft doesn't care about these annoying issues.

On the bright side, conact maintenance performed within the browser version often achieves success without having to go through contortions.

In the browser, to remove a "suggested" contact, if you add that contact, you are then able to delete it.

Since I have switched to the browser for contact maintenance, I have virtually removed my dependency on asprin and tums to use Outlook for email.

Oh, and this is especially true of other email providers that you have ported into Outlook. Fix the address book there and it "usually" syncs correctly.

It is almost amazing!

I can't give details as everything seems to be under control for me at the moment.

However, in my cleanup efforts, I found some issues were only able to be resolved using the browser. However, it is first important to ensure to close the Outlook application. Then, after getting a contact (or multiple ones) clean in the browser, I have closed the Tab, opened the Outlook app and the extraneous "contacts" were gone.

Yep, tried this. When I type in the name, nothing show so no X. But the name is still in my contacts. Also, when I Edit the name, there is nothing there. So looks like just the name is in contacts but no other information.
