Manually reduce adddress book since Thunderbird crashes when opening large Address Book?

Can I delete some of my Address Books without the Thunderbird's dashboard? I have probably imported too many books because Thunderbird's interface crashes when I start Address Book since I imported an address book. I hope there is a resolve before I have to do a completely new install.

Did you import using Tools > Import? Or some other tool? How many is "large"?

Does it happen with version 68? https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ And do you get a crash report and crash ID?

Thank you, please excuse my late reply. I reinstalled Thunderbird because the addresses were not loading properly.
