well alot of times a phone will let you delete contacts actually all the time so my guess is to go to options then press delete. i could be wrong though.’
dumba**

You can delete using a free app called delete contacts search for “Delete Contacts” in Android market and install the program

Thanks Naresh,
searched the market and found Remove Contacts. Worked perfectly!!

Or you can use, Samsung PC Studio, and sync with a deleted phonebook, but Naresh’s solution is much faster.

Yeah Chris, you are wrong and you are a dumbass.
This is bloody annoying. My contacts consisted of every single person I’d ever send an email to since opening my Gmail account.
Is it just me or was this a retarded idea on the part of Google/Android/The developers?

Dave, one option is to go to Contacts ->Display options-> and check the box “Only contacts with phones”

‘delete contacts’ app worked great on a Samsung galaxy s.
Want your palm contacts over to android?
1. Export from palm to vcard on the palm (not.csv… doesn’t work on extensive lists, ie. 900+)
2. Import using vCardIO app – which prompts for OI File manager app download.(which is quite useful to just view the guts of the entire phone & sd cards – hint put a * wildcard in the text box and nav anywhere!

@andy – thanks dude! I had the same problem. Now I solved it thanks to your instructions.

thanks Andy, your instructions were clear and effective!

@andy thanks man! been searching for a solution without an APP!
November 17th, 2010 at 12:53 am
Thanks Andy!! Your solution worked perfectly and there was no app needed. It also allowed me to erase personal information from all of the other apps as well.

Thank you for this suggestion. I had minor trouble restoring contacts after updating to Android 2.1 and ended up with every contact duplicated in the phone. The Delete All Contacts app from Android Market took care of that and I simply restored my saved contacts again from my backup.

this was a very good help, thanks a lot

Thanks Andy! I was having a bad headache after restoring my contacts with dejaoffice and then having to restore again with VCard IO, only to find out I had my contacts tripled! I deleted all contacts with numbers as usual but then there was no way to remove all emails at once!!
your directions were of great help! thanks a billion!!

Just got a LG Vortex with android operating system and all my facebook contacts are in my phone now. I know there are apps to delete all contacts but i just want to delete some of them. When i try to delete them it says it cant delete them because they are read only but says they can be hidden so it does but i want them off my phone…is there an app do edit or just delete some of the contacts????

I tried deleting a few contacts from my phone but because it is linked to my google account, when I went to my email account the same contacts were deleted there! Is there a way to delete all contacts from the phone without losing the contacts from my gmail account? So far Jill’s option seems the best but I would really just like to get rid of the contacts all together.

with google fone u cant delete all u have to delete them one at a time or u can go to a t mobile store and tell them

Thanks Andy, your suggestion worked perfectly. I definitely like the no-app solution and couldn’t remember where I’d found my whopping 18MB contact file before.
LAB, if you delete the contacts on your phone and then have your Google Account re-sync your contacts, all the contacts in your gmail account will be re-loaded on your phone.

thanks andy, your post really helped.

Thanks Andy, your solution is the best on my Samsung Galaxy S and not having to use a third party app – all the better.

(
to delete all contacts go to>
settings>applications>manage applications>
select the “all” tab
scroll down to “Contacts storage”
press and hold Contacts storage
press clear data
)

Thanks Andy, your instructions worked great for my Galaxy S. I echo Andycain’s sentiments about 3rd party apps.
