Contacts folders - made 3 from 1 and now troubles

I got the bright idea of making 2 more Contacts folders so that I could be
better organized. I decided not to use the old Contacts folder and instead
was putting changes in the two news one, which would be used for different
purposes. The reason I came up with this is so that I could get around using
categories (temporarily) because a lot of them disappeared for some unknown
reason. Any, now the problem is that in order for me to set up Contacts to
be tracked in the Journal, I have to use the Contacts folder I initially
had...so now I want to copy all the Contacts from the two new folders BACK to
the original Contacts folder so I can use just that one. How can that happen
without mass duplication issues? THank you!

depending on the version of Outlook, it should prompt if a duplicate is
recognized. Sometimes you get dupes due to differences in the contact
records. you can use a duplicate remover such as one found he
