Question asked on Nov 29, 2015

I have been attempting to delete duplicate and old contacts from my windows livemail 2011 running on Windows7, which erroneously got onto the contacts list when I attempted to synchronise with my android phone by importing a csv file from my phone.

Having followed the advice on previous threads, and having a clean set of contacts on a csv file, I want to clear the current contact list completely.

I have removed the link between livemail and google and Skype and having gone into livemail I have successfully deleted all contacts that had an 'address book' field. However this leaves some 270 contacts that will not delete (the delete cross remains greyed out rather than red).

I have also gone into MS People and deleted all entries in there so this is now clear.

I would be really grateful for any advice that you have to enable me to clear my current WLM contact list so that I can start again with a clean list.

Many thanks
