That makes no sense. Why can't you have the option when you hit delete for a
contact that asks you if you want to delete linked items? It could even give
you a list of linked items and you can check or uncheck them and delete them.
A lot of the answers you have given here on this board are true about what
CAN be done today. Suggestions (like this one) are why can't we do this in
the FUTURE!!!! This can't be that hard to do...I hope Microsoft is listening!
I understand that you were answering that this can't be done now and I am
sure that Nate appreciates that information. I am frustrated that throughout
the posts like this one that are valid and useful suggestions, there is no
consideration of the fact that this was posted as such.

it's not a flaw - once added to the calendar, birthdays are disconnected
from the contact that added them. The only connection is the link to the
contact - and outlook would be wrong to delete all items linked to a contact
when the contact was deleted.

So... when you enter a birthday for a contact, it adds that to your
calendar... all fine and dandy, except for when you delete a contact, or
remove the birthday from a contact, it still appears in the calendar and
isn't erased. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a small flaw in the
program. Because I have birthdays showing up for contacts I've deleted
months ago.
