    Data lost on Win 10 people app


    I doubt if those are really lost.
    Look at your People App settings in the first instance to see what Account(s) it is syncing with.

    Then to Filter Contact list and make sure the 'Show Contacts from' list is what you want > Done.

    Then in general Windows settings > Privacy > Background Apps have the Mail and People App running. Those are virtually the only ones I allow to run in the background out of a very long list.

    For example, in mine it syncs with 2 Outlook Mail Accounts and a Gmail Account.
    You can obviously go to those accounts using the Webmail interface to see the contacts in those.

    Upgraded to windows 10 and lost all contacts in people app .

    After upgrading my lumia 640xl to windows 10 lost all contacts , as people app is not able to sync the contact list as account is not getting added.

    I tried to add it several times it says "add account successfully" , but the list doesn't show contacts as well as the live account .

    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.
