Is there a quicker way to delete over 1,000 old contacts in my address book which have been collected over the years and are no longer needed. There are no tick boxes which would enable multiple deletion and it will take forever for me to sort out which ones to keep and which to delete.

Thank you for any help.

Select the first contact you want to delete. Then press and hold Shift and select the last contact to be deleted. This selects all contacts in between the first and the last selected one. By holding down Ctrl and click on a contact you can select or de-select it individually. Then press Del to delete all selected contacts.
