I accidentally imported an entire Excel spreadsheet, including about 65,000
blank entries into my Contacts database. Is there a quick way to remove them?
I don't have enough memory to just highlight them and delete them all at
once, so I am just doing it about 100 at a time and it is slow going.
 
do you have enough memory to use a group by view and delete the group?
Assuming you can find a field to group by that removes the good contacts
from the group....
 
Could you temporarily increase your virtual memory? Remember to change the
memory back afterwards. You would probably need to reboot for each change.

Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory

Use the suggestion from Diane Poremsky if you can. It would be much faster
than this one.
