Outlook.com Contact madness, what do?

[Pjay]

I have recently somehow been given 17,000 new contacts in my Outlook.com (Hotmail) account.

I have no idea how it happened, or where they have come from, but I don't know them and more importantly want them.

Is there any way to sort by added and choose delete, or any other way of removing them, as I can't realistically just remove 17,000 contacts manually.

Oh and the main reason I dont want them, is because loading and using Outlook is a pain as it grinds my browser to a standstill, then keeps doing this every few mins, until I have to quit the browser and start again.

It's ok, i have figured out a workaround (of sorts).

I have saved all 17,400 to a csv file and will use that to find anyones details that I need in future.

I am in the process of selecting all and deleting them, it's done 80 so far and locked up my broswer.

You should probably change your password.

You're not offering to do to others, that you offered me are you?

I'd have thought you'd be a bit busy deleting you 'unwanted' contacts? Besides, it's raining, and I wouldn't want my bike to rust to dust, what with it being chinese & all that

You should also change the password anywhere that you've used the same password as your hotmail account.
