Is there a way to mass delete multiple contacts in Outlook?

[Guest]

Somehow by syncing my iPAQ to Outlook on my computer I have wound up with all
of my contacts being displayed twice and some even three or four times. Is
there a way to delete all of the multiples at once?

Go to Business Contacts in Business Contact Manager, select a view (Address
Cards, Recently Added or Recently Modified should work good), select a
Business Contact, hold down Ctrl, select all the other ones you want, right
click, go to Delete.

Thank you for the reply, however I should have been more specific in my
question. I currently have 2669 total contacts, so roughly 1300 that need
deleting. I was wondering if there was a function to delete all duplicate
contacts, but there may not be since I can't find it.

No. The easiest way is to sort by modified date and delete or using a
duplicate checker - but these only work with outlook contacts, not BCM
contacts.
