How do I quickly delete over 50,000 blank entries from Contacts?
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.... -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "ynezllapa" wrote in message ...

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. "ynezllapa" wrote: I accidentally imported an entire Excel spreadsheet, including about 65,000 blank entries into my Contacts database.
