How to disconnect contacts from Outlook after deleting Hotmail account on iPhone?

Please help, my Hotmail account on my iPhone is terrible, the storage is now limited and even though I clean up my mail everyday it’s not letting me send mail, says by box is full, now I can receive any mail now. I have opened up a google mail now. The thing is a lot of my contacts are connected to the outlook and I really don’t know why, I lose a lot when I deleted it. How do I disconnect them from outlook, if you know what I mean. Thanks

You will need to export your contacts from Outlook and import into your google account.

Microsoft support or their help site/forum can assist on how to do that, and gmail support can show to import it.
