Hello,

I have about 1000 contacts in my Yahoo account and I need to delete all of them. Yahoo UI does not have an option of removing multiple contacts at once and deleting one by one is close to impossible in my case.

Does anybody knows the way to delete all contacts not one by one?

Thank you.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there's no way to delete all your contacts at once on Yahoo Mail. Try linking your account to another email service like Gmail, to see if you can manage your contacts there.

Alternatively, to make mass deletion a little less difficult, go to https://mail.yahoo.com/b/contacts and keep clicking on the trash icon to delete as many contacts as you can. There's no confirmation message or additional steps - as soon as you click the trash, the contact is deleted.

If you go with the second method, I suggest you try deleting them in several times. For example, each time you access your inbox, delete some contacts, then continue another time.

Good luck

Hello, I have done all this; I've even moved the file to be sure there's not an error on the disk preventing a full clean upload.  My intention is to attach a small (2.6Mb) ePub file to send it to be read on my Kindle device. I put the correct "To" email; I put a small default subject & body message, then click the paperclip (I'm on Windows 10 desktop, using an up-to-date Chrome, select the file, click "attach" & it seems to operate normally, but then a big red "!" appears instead of a document icon; eventually it goes away, but only after I get a popup error from Yahoo: Message cannot be saved as draft. I click "send" & get error message in my inbox "your message could not be sent." Anyo...

I am shocked and sad.  I use the stationery feature at the bottom of my email just about every day, but suddenly it is no longer there!  Did I delete it by accident?  How may I get it back?
