I just did the migration from Skype to the MS Teams replacement. And in my call list, there was a crapton of "unknown caller" entries, all on just a few dates. According the MS documentation, I have to select EACH contact, one by one, and then do a few mouse clicks to delete that ONE contact. Sheesh, there are at least 50 of those entries. Is there a way to do a mass-delete and block future "unknown caller"?

I ddidn't use skype very much, and I certainly don't remember seeing all those spam callers in my old Skype caller list.

I’ve noticed the same. I’ve deleted them but the last one remains under chat.
Most likely they’re spam calls.
