Group won’t let me delete

My contact group has 300 names. It won’t let me delete names inside it. Do you think duplicating the group and starting new would help? How do I do that?

MacBook Air 13″, OS X 10.11

I don't see any menu item that would let you duplicate a group.


Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if you can delete from there. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
