Can't delete contact in outlook

I can not delete *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. You will notice there is no option to delete or edit.

How do I delete the contact

[PII removed by Rick Song MSFT to protect your privacy]

That's Outlook.com web access, and you are viewing the Contact details. Go Back to mail and click People/Contacts at the bottom of the window, select that contact and delete at the top menu

You can add your outlook.com mail account to the Win10 Mail app

Hello MSamLS,

 

From the screenshot, I can see this email address wasn’t added as your contacts so you cannot edit or delete it. You might had an email with this email address, so the search result will show this contact. However, it’s not added as you contact. You can see you have the button to Add to contacts.

 

I think you might want to only filter the email addresses in your contacts. You can click Filter -> choose Contacts so that it will only return results in your contacts.

 

Regards,

Rick
