How can I erase all my iCloud contacts? On my iPhone I have about 750 contacts, but iCloud has almost 2300 contacts and many contact groups. The unneeded contacts and contact groups are from a consulting job I had that ended years ago, and I don't need any of these old contacts.
Right now these unneeded contacts are messing things up when I try to use an app that synchronizes Outlook and iPhone using iCloud as the intermediary?
Windows, Windows 10
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities philip-b,
You can manage Contacts either from a signed in device, or from the iCloud website using the following steps:
You can delete a contact in Contacts on iCloud.com. When you delete a contact, it’s deleted on every device that has Contacts turned on in iCloud settings.
1: In Contacts on iCloud.com, click the All Contacts group in the sidebar, then select one or more contacts you want to delete.
2: Press the Delete key, then click Delete.
We hope this helps!

That worked. Thanks a lot. The necessary steps were not obvious in the UI.
