Default How do I reverse an import? I imported 46,000 contacts from .xls

Hi,

I had a database in .xls of contacts and went to import into outlook without
looking at how big it was. Turns out it is over 46,000 contacts and choked
the outlook. (other realtors and lenders) So, now it just gives me an error
message when I try to open those contacts.

I just need to reverse the import, and will likely use a web based system
unless I can get outlook to work with that size of material.

Delete those entries or all the entries. You can't "reverse" it by File |
Import and Export.
View your contacts folder in a phone list view and sort my modified (you
might need to add that field to the view) and you should be able to locate
those newly imported contacts to delete them.
