Help! My deleted contacts keep re-appearing...

Hi,
My brother gave me his BB 8900. I've deleted his contacts every way I know how, and his contacts keep re-appearing on the phone.
1. I've deleted the contacts through the Desktop software
2. I've a clean list of my contacts on Gmail and Yahoo address book for syncing.
3. I've deleted my bro's contacts on the back-up folder contacts.
4. I've no entries in my SIM Phone Book.
5. I set the Address Book Wireless Synchronization field to No.
I get to the point where everything looks clean on handheld and phone ... and 30 minutes later the unconnected phone has somehow restored the (600) deleted contacts into the address book
Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks.

Interesting. A clean start could help because I don't know whats causing it. You've done some good troubleshooting so far.
I recommend wiping the device so you can setup from scratch. This guarantees nothing from your brothers settings remain.

Deleted contacts keep re-appearing in my Contacts. Why??!!! Backup assist failure.

Every morning when I wake up, I have an alert on my Droid Razr M that says the backup assistant failed. So I delete some old contacts to make room so I don't have to pay for an upgrade. Same thing the next day. I look, and ALL the contacts I deleted have been re-populated to my phone! How do I get them to stay gone?

I want to ensure you have positive experience with Backup Assistant. Let's ensure your contacts back up at the time of removal. To backup current contacts head into Settings > Backup Assistant Plus > Backup Assistant plus Contacts > Sync Now.

Mail account doesn't work properly, deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random.

deleted messages keep re-appearing, others seem to disappear and reappear at random

I have the same problem. Thankfully one which was missing came back. I printed it out and made a PDF of it since it was an important one I'd been looking for.
I have three icloud email accounts which folders for each one. Now they mostly come up in my inbox instead of the correct folder and they won't move to the correct one.
Come on Apple, fix this.

Need help in deleting contacts

Hi All,
I recently bought Sony Ericsson Cedar. However, I am unable to delete contacts from contacts-look up while sending a message. can anyone kindly let me know how to delete contacts from contacts look-up section?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are two possibilities here: 1) These numbers are either stored in your SIM contact list, because you had the Autosave to SIM switched on in your Contact settings, or 2) These numbers are actually saved in the phone memory, although you will not find them in your Contacts phone list because they are temporary files: What you need to do is to actually save these numbers first (when they appear in stand-by when you enter a similar number) and then delete them.Hope this helps.

Deleted emails keep re-appearing ??

Hi All
Very strange thing keeps happening over the last week or so :-
I have 3 email accounts on my iPhone when I delete any of these emails after reading them ( and emptying the trash ) they mysteriously keep re-appearing back in my in-box when I return to the iPhone after I turn it back on.
The emails are no longer on the main servers they originated from as I have deleted them after downloading them to their respective email accounts.
Has anybody experienced this ? and more important what if any is the fix for what appears to be a bug.
Kind Regards
Corrie

WOW! The same exact thing keeps happening to me! I went into the Apple Store and was told to try deleting the email account and then re-entering it. It's still doing the same thing! Please fix this! I am 100% sure it's related to the 4.0 update I did on my phone....never did it before the update, and now it does!

A deleted contact keeps popping up when I compose an email

I have deleted a contact on my bb and my outlook. Wheni compose an email the first two letters of his email pop up.
Exmaple. in the compose an email field I want to write an email to GD-George Dunn so i type GD and the email address of a deleted contact Gemma Dirosso ([email protected]) pops up first. I had deleted her on my bb and outlook yet only her email address pops up. So i cannot find her on my contacts, so by rights her email info should be gone but it isn't. so i cannot delete it as it is no where to be found on my bb and outlook
Any body have any ideas??

Help with Delete Contact WS

Hi All
I'm trying to delete Contacts using "ContactWS_ContactDelete_Input" web service. Even though a valid contactId is passed, getting an error "<siebelf:errormsg>No rows retrieved corresponding to the business component 'Contact'(SBL-EAI-04378)</siebelf:errormsg>
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
user566811

By any chance is the Private Flag set for this particular contact?
This is the same issue I found trying to update activities. If the private flag was set, I could not update it via the Web Service or see it in the UI .. however, I could see it in a report !!

Deleted BBM contacts keep re-appearing

Hi! I have 8520/5.0.0.1036 and I recently upgraded my bbm to ver 7.0.1.23. I am from the Philippines and for some strange reason my Display Picture does not update, and the contacts that I deleted keep on re-appearing. And contacts I moved from 'category A' to 'category B' moved back right before my eyes. Please help! Thanks a lot!

Mail sync with gmail problems - deleted emails keep re appearing

Learned all,
Upgraded to Mavericks and my main (work) email client is gmail forward to my mac. I simply can't delete emails from my inbox, they re appear after every sync. If I delete them on my phone they re appear after a sync. They remain in the google mail/gmail inbox, as accessed in a browser, marked deleted but still sitting in my inbox. I haven't noticed this before but then I haven't really looked.
This is bizarre, and fundamental. I have read the TidBITS article and cringe at the thought of having all my emails load back up to my mac. Also cringe at all the other accounts of issues that this resolution doesn't fix. My temporary work around - disable my gmail work email account on my mac, forward all emails from gmail to my icloud mail account/client. The biggest problem, and a show stopper, is that I can't send emails via icloud from my work email address. I assume that you can't add an alias with a different domain name? Anyway I had 3 and have to wait 7 days after deleting one before I can add another. 7 days??
Any wisdom or learnings from out there? Any advise appreciated, thanks.

Thank you, Ernie.
These are all IMAP. I see trash on the server and on MAIL. deletine Trash used to work from MAIL, but in last 4 months, if I want something to take effect, I work from the web mail of go daddy and MAIL gets the message.
So you suggest I go to Gmail and set up accounts ( I assume they will walk me through ) (starting from my current gmail acct that my android uses-- or start from scratch?) to receive email addressed to my current email addresses? Then by not transfering out of goDaddy, I won't lose lots of email and mail files, folders in the transition?
There is a discussion on this topic of GoDaddy delays, from 2010 and 2011. So I may not be alone with the problem now.
Best,
Gayle

Deleted emails keep re-appearing in inbox

For about the 10th time, I've re-received some emails that I had deleted. I even deleted them from the trash folder to see if they were just moved back in from there. Some of the emails (newest ones), reappear as "un-read", and the others show as read. I have iphone 3gs on 3.1.3 fw. Has anyone had this issue? and if so have a solution? Thx

Not sure how Yahoo works, but it might not be deleting the messages off the server. Have a look in:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [Your Yahoo account]
Tap the 'Advanced Settings' at the bottom of the pop-up.
Under 'Incoming Messages', see what "Delete from server' is set to.
If it's set to 'Never', try 'When removed from inbox'.
That means it will remove if once you delete it out of your inbox and it shouldn't get confused and download it again. If you have other email clients, such as on your Mac or iPad, they will, of course, no longer be able to download those messages once they've been deleted via your iPhone. The other option is to set to delete them after 7 days, which gives you time to download the messages on another computer.

Deleted email keeps re-appearing.

I have had this problem off and on in the past. It is back and worse than ever. I is bad enough I might chuck my iPhone in the river. I use cox.net for my email. My iPhone is set to remove messages from the server when deleted from the inbox.
Thanks,
Greg

Deleted apps keep re-appearing?

We have a number of iPads synced to the same iTunes account (school). I have deleted a few apps from my iTunes account but when I sync the iPads, those apps don't always disappear from the iPads. Why is that? Do I have to delete these apps individually off each iPad?

I have deleted the apps from my iTunes account (on the computer). When I sync via USB, all updates do get pushed out but those apps that I deleted from the account are staying on the ipads. When I manually delete the app from the individual iPad, and then sync, those apps re-appear (even though I have deleted them from the account).
Thanks for any suggestions!

Deleted Contact Keeps Reappearing (Yahoo)

I got married 3 months ago and changed my wife's name on my iphone from her maiden to our shared last named.
Ever since then, her maiden name continuously reappears as a contact. Whenever she calls me, the phone says "Emily F*** or Emily K**".
No matter how many times I delete her contact info on my iphone & in Yahoo Contacts, it inevitably reappears. I have deleted both versions of her contact info, then I synced. Then I enter just the correct name and contact info and then both versions end up reappearing.
Does anyone have a solution or should I just head to the Genius Bar?

Does anyone have an idea?

How do I delete contact History from Text Messaging?

My Friend Got a new Number so I deleted his old number. But when I go to text messages and click on the box in the upper right corner for a new message and type his name in, Not only does his new number show up, but his old number does also that I deleted and replaced with the new number. When I go to contacts under his name only his new number is there. How do I delete his old Number from the text message History?

that's also my problem how to delete contacts history. try to go to message, select new message- then enter his/her number. u will see there the old number that was deleted already. then tap the ( i ) symbol at the right side, then you will see there "remove from recents". and it will not appear anymore. deleted contacts will not appear anymore. it worked for my iphone 4s w/ the latest ios 7 update.
hope this will help.
