Deleting multiple contacts from Admin Console
- Sep 17, 2019
Oh, well I guess PowerShell for the rescue. If you don't feel comfortable using PowerShell, you can try to perform the deletion via the EAC instead: https://outlook.office.com/ecp/
In the EAC, go to Recipients -> Contacts. Do note that other type of contacts will be visible there, including Guest users. Sort by Contact Type, then select the ones you want to delete (shift or ctrl for multiple selection).
For some reason, the new Admin Center UI doesn't allow you to select multiple contacts. The easiest solution is to switch back to the old experience - use the "Try the new admin center" toggle on the top right of the page.
Thanks for getting back to me. I did this and does let me select multiple contacts, but then says Bulk Actions: There are no actions available for multiple contacts!!
