Cannot delete old contacts from Email send to list

Have deleted contacts from contacts list, from Email accounts in computer etc, still the old names remain. tried re-syncing accounts still didn't work.

It has been like that since as long as I can remember. Whenever you email someone from your phone it keeps their address in the previous recipients. I believe I read a long time ago that you can get rid of them by going into the settings app and reseting the network settings, but I've never tried it myself.

I want to delete a contact from email contacts but cannot find contact in any of my contacts list

I want to delete a contact from email contacts but cannot find contact in any contact list.

In the present iOS, it's all or nothing. You can suggest Apple add the ability to edit the call history log here:

Cannot delete old sessions from SM35 - Batch Input...

Cannot delete old sessions from SM35 - Batch Input...
We have an issue, we are trying to delete old batch input sessions via SM35 and no
matter how hard we try we cannot get rid of them. They are still in status "In Process" but they are status incorrect.
Those sessions have long finished and some are more than 5 years old.
We have tried running rsdbcreo and RSBDC_REORG but it only returns with
Temse Error, running SP12 does not list any inconsistencies. Basically we want all jobs in SM35 that ran this year only available in the SM35 queue, we have sessions that have run from year 2004 to 2008 we wish to
delete.
Anybody experience anything similar or have any advice, sorry this is an environment that i have inherited and wish to cleanup.
We have checked the following notes 706478,76422,706478,76422 and many more.
Thanks

When you try to delete, you will be asked whether you want to delete logs too.
Here try with 'No'.
hope this helps

HT3529 deleting old contacts from messages

Can anyone help.
I have deleted some contacts from my contact list, but they still keep appearing each time I start a new text message when I type the first few letters of the contact name.
Is there a way of refreshing this list?
Thanks

There is already a discussion about this here.
Looks like the only way to resolve this is with a restore.

I cannot delete any contacts from my I phone 4. It is not indicating any delete or edit button for contacts.

I tried to delete some old unnwanted contacts from my I phone. But it does not show the delete or edit option in the contact list page.

My settings are fine. I believe the issue is because there is a typo in the email address to the person I am trying to send the email to. I am trying to open the email to correct typo but every time I try to open the email I get a message saying, "Cannot open email, email is being sent." I also cannot delete this email either.

TS3276 how do you delete a contact from your mail address list?

i dont know that many details about my mac.. Geez! I just am trying to delete addresses from my mail that are no longer good, to avoid the 'unable to send' messages and I can't find any place that says do that, nor can i delete with keyboard, nor with trying to drag them to the trash. Can anyone help me? One would think it would be very simple.
PS: In language I can understand? thank you thank you thank you. !

Address Book in 10.6.8 (which your post says you are using) has a Delete Card item in the Edit menu. If you want to get rin of a complete card, use it. If you have more than one address on an individual's contact card as here:
click the Edit button at the bottom of the card to put it in edit mode:
then click the minus sign beside any that you want rid of.
Make sure that you clear them from the Previous Recipients window too.

No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents".

I have a iphone 4s and i deleted several contacts from my phone but when i go to meassage a different contact that old contact i deleted weeks ago shows up how do i get the deleted contact info off my phone and out of the memory.

How do u delete old contacts that have been deleted from my phonebook on my iphone4s. The old contacts continue. To show up when i go to message someone they pop up from memory.

Is there a blue arrow beside those numbers when they appeared?

In time machine how do I delete an old contact from my address book?

trying to delete old contacts out of my address book in time machine so there is no trace. Any ideas?

You cannot delete data in TM, it's a backup app. However in your address book you can delete some contacts and then TM will not back up that data. It's not that big a deal however, what I'd do is remove the contacts you want in the Contacts app and just leave TM alone.

I recently deleted a contact from my phone book and when I send a text the same contact appears.. How do I remove it?

I recently deleted a contact from my phone book and when I send a text the same contact appears.. How do I remove it?

I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

Help please.connected my current iphone to i tunes it syncd old contacts from previous job to new phone and deleted all my new ones,

Help please.
Connected my current iphone to i tunes. it syncd old contacts from previous job and previous phone to new phone and deleted all my new ones. tried to do back up from earlier restore in i tunes but there only seem to be back ups from my old phone not the new one prior to its first sync...

thanks for your reply and input but, Im not sure if it was former or latter that I did, however I do know that I named this latest i phone differently and would have been OK with and expected expected old contacts to be added to the new ones I have recently added directly onto the new phone since I have had it rather than just the old one. I did try the undue/ unsync but this just seemed to remove all the old backed up ones just added leaving contacts empty? Clearly its my error, but what can be done to restore setting back to time before I connected today? earlier reset points on itunes show as 2 years ago and relate to old phone.

Missing contact when "create new contact" from email or number

I am having a really strange problem on my iPhone and think it will be a fun mystery to solve. Please help me!
It is currently set up with google so that my mail/notes are using gmail IMAP and my contacts/calendars are using Google Sync. So far it's been working pretty well except for all the known many bugs and issues (please fix these, google!). I have no other email, calendar, or contact accounts set up (not even syncing with my computer).
I received an email from a friend who I did not yet have a contact for, so in the email header I clicked her name and chose to "Create new contact." As usual, the email address was already in the "email" field, so I just edited her name and filled out the "company" field and pressed Done. The "from" field in the email updated to show that the contact had been added to my phone and that it recognized the email as being from her.
Now, I go to add a number to her contact and when I navigate through my contacts list, her name is no where to be seen. I've tried searching through the contacts by using the search bar at the top of both the Phone and the Contacts apps, but nothing shows up. However, when I compose an email and start typing her address, it recognizes her as a contact. Even weirder, I just tried the entire phone search spotlight feature, and it found her contact right away, as if it were any normal contact. When I click on it, it brings me to her contact page, which I cannot edit, and when I press the little left arrow "Contacts" in the top left of the screen to go back to the whole listing, she's not there!
When I go to add contacts using the little + symbol in the top right of the phone app, it works normally and the contact appears as usual. But every time I try to do a new contact from email, this happens! Choosing to "update existing contact" works fine, though. So I've been forced to create an empty contact with her name in the Phone app, and then add the email to it.
Please help my find where in my phone this contact is residing, and how to bring it out so I can find it. I have tried force-quitting the relevant apps from the multi-task dock, and even turning off and on my phone, but to no luck.
Update: Just tried creating a new contact from a phone number I've previously dialed and the same thing happens! Where are my contacts going?? This is so weird!
Not sure if this is just a google sync issue, but I figured I'd post it in case other people are having similar issues
Device: Apple iPhone 4
Carrier: AT&T
Country / Language: USA English
OS: iOS 4

I recently experienced a similar event. I was adding from Contacts "+" button on the iPhone 4. I completed entering the data & hit "done". I went back to add a photo. I hit "done" & went to test the result. No new contact. Search did not find it. Tried two more times with different contacts. Same result.
At one point, the "All Contacts" directory went blank. Nothing. Seconds later the contacts returned. Scary. I rebooted the iPhone. No new contacts but old ones fine.
I then entered with an old iPhone on OS 3.2 same data. Showed quickly via MobileMe. On the new iPhone added photo the photo. All OK. From an iPad, OS3 I did the same. Added photo in new phone. All OK. I added from the new iPhone including photo. All OK.
The iPhone IOS4 reboot may be the answer. Wish I had tried older systems before reboot.

I cannot delete the messages from my mailbox

I cannot delete any messages from my mailboxes. Please help

If you are using the native Apple email app you should be able to swipe to the left and delete. If you can't then remove and reinstall the email account. If that does work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Old contacts on emailing

I continue to have old contacts that have been deleted keep coming up when i try to type in a new address to send on using my email.
Say if I've deleted a contact the email address will still pop up as an option when typing in the TO: space when emailing...
Can anyone help? I've synced the iphone and still has old data on it.

These are not editable/eraseable. Over time, as you use the email program, they will fall to the bottom of the list if they are not used anymore. That will leave the more frequently used addresses at the top. They are not tied to your contacts, but are stored in the email program.
