Can't delete contact properly

So I deleted someones number out of my phone however, I'll get an occasional forward from that person and their name is still in my inbox. If it's a random person just the number shows up but if it's him his name is still there. I was wondering if I could permanently delete him out of my phone? Thanks!
**edit** When I say forwards I mean texts. Not emails. Sorry for the confusion

Solved!
Go to Solution.

To check whether contact name and number is saved in SIM card go to Contacts -> click Menu and select SIM Phone Book.

    First make backup of the Contacts by going to the File menu, Export, Contacts Archive.
    Then, delete this file:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    That is an index database that gets recreated automatically. It appears to be corrupt.
    The ~ means your user home folder. You can get to the user Library by holding down the Option key and selecting Library from the Go menu in Finder.

  • Can't Delete Contacts

    I have a 30g Fifth generation Ipod. I cannot delete the contacts. Under the "Contacts" tab I have unchecked the "sync from" bubble and re-synced. Still the contacts are there. I have tried "Enabling Disk Use", gone into the control panel, pulled up the drive the ipod is plugged into, and opened the contacts folder. In the contacts folder, I do not have a 4th folder which contains any contacts. So there is no folder there to delete. Also, the contacts on my ipod are each on there twice. How can I delete them?

    Hi, VQiWdjj,
    Have a look at this KB article on the error message you're receiving. http://bbry.lv/9BKwxk If the first two options are not the cause, then the device address book may be corrupt. You can clear the Address Book database following these instructions. http://bbry.lv/buj0rQ  If you synchronize, try restoring the address book by syncing.
    Thanks,

  • Most Iphone 3GS contacts on phone are duplicated, can't delete contacts to

    Most of the contacts on my 3GS are duplicates. I am not using MobileMe. I sync with Outlook. My Outlook contacts are not duplicated.
    I tried "replace all contacts on this iPHone with PC contacts" in itunes, but that didn't fix it.
    I tried syncing with sync contacts unchecked, but that didn't remove the contacts from the iPHone.
    People in other posts have talked about going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar and selecting an Account and tellint it to delete contacts, but none of my accounts have that option (i only have 2 mail accounts showing).
    I don't mind deleting all contacts on the phone, as I can replace them from my Outlook contacts, which are up to date and not in duplicate.
    I think this may have happened because I have 2 groups of contacts in Outlook, which are mostly duplicates of each other (one for me and one for my husband). But I only selected my group to sync, and my group is not duplicated.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thank you.

    Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. This will be under the edit menu.
    Then, reset your sync history:
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    3. Click the Devices tab.
    4. Click the Reset Sync History button.
    Next, connect your phone:
    1. Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    3. Select the group you want on your phone.
    2. Scroll down to the Advanced section and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPod" make sure Contacts are selected.
    3. Click Apply.
    See it that fixes things.

  • I can't delete contacts I synced from Facebook

    I am trying to sort out my contacts and I can't seem to be able to delete contacts that I imported from Facebook. It won't let me click on the delete button like it does for normal contacts. Any help would really be appreciated.

    If they were placed on the phone via iTunes sync from a computer you delete them by syncing again using the following instructions from Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
    Delete synced photos
    In iTunes, locate and click on your device.
    Click Photos.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • How can I delete contacts on my iPhone without having to go into each one to do it?

    I delete contacts on my iPhone without having to go into each one to do it?

    Yeah you can only do all with itunes.
    On the phone itself you can only delete one at a time.
    Go to the contact, choose edit, scroll down, at the bottom is a delete option.

  • Can't delete contacts in Kopete.

    Hi,
    I am not able to permanently delete Yahoo! contacts in Kopete. When I restart the program the deleted contacts are back. I have tried many times using both "Delete" and "Remove" No go. Anyone else noticed this? I am running Kopete Version 0.80.2 Using KDE 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4).

    Just tried and it works for me. Is this a LDAP address book or a mac or windows one?

  • How can I delete contacts from my gmail located on my iphone?

    I'm using an iphone 3 on iOS 5.  When I use the standard mail app (that cam with the phone) to compose a message with my gmail account, I type a letter into the "To: " field and receive suggestions from my iphone's gmail contact list.  I would like to remove some of the people from this list, however.  The people I would like to remove are not in my regular iphone contact list, and I have deleted them as contacts from the PC version of my gmail.
    Is there a way for me to find the contact list for my gmail on my iphone so that I can pick and choose the people I want to delete?

    ... any ideas?

  • Can't delete contacts or pictures

    I am trying to delete a picture or a contact on my new Iphone5. When I hit the trash can on a photo and delete photo or cancel comes up I can not hit delete photo. I can only hit cancel. This happens where there is two options in the pop up window. So anything that involves the two options does not work. I can delete a picture if I turn it sideways to landscape, but that only helps for somethigns. Makes me wonder I just got the phone today and already messed up. The phone is on ISO 6.1.4

    reset iphone or go to you local apple store

  • How can I delete contacts, they keep being recreat...

    I have a Nokia E71, and I synchronize contacts with Outlook through Nokia PC Suite. If I delete a contact in Outlook, it is automatically recreated next time I synchronize the E71 with Outlook.
    How can I definitely delete a contact ? In fact, I have several hundreds to delete, I need an efficient method.
    PC Suite: version 7.1.51.0
    Outlook 2007
    OS: Windows XP SP3

    Contact syncing is bi-directional, and the process knows you deleted these contacts, not added them to your phone. Thus, they will be deleted from your phone.

  • Urgent!!! Can't delete contacts!!!

    Hi everyone, recently my parents bought 2 iPhone 4s for themselves. I accidentally synced their 2 old phones' contacts in to one address book.
    I found the address books contacts in the "Metadata" folder, where the only way to distinguish the contacts from the 2 phones are by the "Date Modified". However when i delete the files in the Finder window, Address book keeps on making new ones!!!
    Now i only have one way to do it is to double click the file in the finder window, so it opens up in Address Book, then i hit delete. I have more than over 300 contacts, i give up after deleting 30 some contacts.
    Please anyone, any solutions? I just don't want the contacts to "respawn" themselves!!!!!

    Walzinhammer  sadly I was left with no solution but to do an Erase All Content and Settings
    this finally removed my 45 ghosts.
    Then I simply turned on my contact sync with iCloud and all was good in CONTACTS once more.
    ...and now those 45 contacts change when I edit them

  • Can't delete songs properly in iTunes 8

    Since upgrading to iTunes 8, I can no longer remove songs from the computer using iTunes. Previously I have either deleted soongs by hitting delete in the library or option delete in a playlist. Subsequently you were prompted to keep file or "move to trash". I'm not getting this option. The file is removed from the listing in the iTunes library or playlist, but remains hogging space in the iTunes music folder on the harddrive. I have tried many many things. HELP!

    I can't believe no one has responded to this, I'm having the same trouble! There is no longer an option when you right click on a tune that is either highlighted or checked, to delete it. It isn't in the right click drop down menu.
    Also, when you check the track you want to select for deleting and go into the 'Edit' menu, the 'Delete' option has turned from Black to Grey making it impossible to click on it.
    I wish I could back date to an older version now, because there seem to be fewer options available, an Apple are making things harder as time goes on. I had a right nightmare moving my entire itunes Library onto a new hard drive. I won't even go there.
    Any help on the deleting would be great, I have deleted the actual song file from my hard drive, but this doesn't remove the name from your playlist/Music Library like it used to, and I haven't got room for dead titles in my library!!
    Happy New Year all,
    All the best,
    Tim.
