How to delete contacts from the Windows 8 People app?

Question

I never really bothered to keep my Hotmail contact information up to date, so now that I connected it to Windows 8, suddenly I see all this outdated contact information or people I've long stopped talking to.

I don't see any buttons or options where I can click to delete someone.

So how do I clean up my Windows 8 People app and remove these contacts?

Answer 1

Open the details of the contact you would like to delete, right click somewhere on the screen to open the app bar and Delete the contact.
