Deleting or Restoring a Contact or Contact List

You can delete contacts or contact lists that you created or imported into Outlook on the web. You can't delete contacts that you get by connecting to a social network account, such as LinkedIn.

You can recover contacts and contact lists that you deleted less than 30 days ago. When you recover a contact or contact list, Outlook on the web automatically places it in the My Contacts folder.

To delete a contact or contact list

  1. Go to the People section via the icon below the calendar icon on the left (demonstrated in the screenshot below):
