how to recover accidentally deleted address book contact list

[Guest]

While in MS Outlook, clicked on contact list, needed to delete one contact,
but inadvertently deleted the entire list. Is there a way to recover the
list?

I usually click Edit>Undo right away if I make a mistake.

While this solution worked, it is a major problem with Outlook. If you have a
contact that contains many entrees and you think you are just going to
"delete" one, the whole contact is deleted without any warning or chance to
correct what you have done.

Why is it Microsoft's problem if you click the wrong button?
