Windows 10: I have Windows 10 Version 1809 and use the Outlook.Live.com People app for contacts in...

I searched online for how to clean the Outlook cache, but all I could find is for older versions of Outlook. There must be a way to clean the cache in new versions of Outlook. Please let me know how.

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Outlook People Not in Contacts Folder


I exported Windows Live Contacts from Windows 7 computer and imported them into Outlook 2016 on Windows 10.
The contacts appear in Outlook People and in Address Book.

The Contacts folder in C: >Users>Username>Contacts is empty.
I am the only user.

Should the contacts also be in there?
How can I get them there?
Thanks, cb

 

Contacts not showing in People app on Windows 10 (PC and mobile) and Outlook app (iPad)

All my contacts from my Outlook.com account are not showing in the People app (mobile and PC) and not showing in the Outlook app on my iPad. Until 2 weeks ago they where in the People app (and iPad). I didn't change any settings. I still can see the contacts
in Outlook 2016 and online in Outlook.com.

I also have an Office 365 account and all the contacts from that account are still visible in the People app.

I already tried these steps:

• I removed my Outlook.com account from my phone and PC and reinstalled it.
• I checked the filter in the People app (Settings > Filter contact list).
• Looked at Outlook.com but can't find any settings that are wrong

I think the problem is in Outlook.com because I can't see the contacts on any device.

Any suggestions.
