How do I delete the Contacts Icon put on the 2G and 3G iPhones?

How do I delete the Contacts on my 2G iPhone? I want to pass the 2G on and all my phone numbers are there and the Contacts won't deltete!

Back up your Address Book on your Mac. Delete al the contacts. Sync the phone. All your conatats will be gone
Unplug the phone. Restore your contacts into Address Book.
Eaglesflight1258 is right. You can't delete the Contacts icon from the phone, and even if you could, pressing the phone button brings up the same contacts list. There's only one list of names and numbers, and both buttons use it.
An alternative strategy is to get the other stuff to the recipient by copying the files onto his/her computer so they can be synced with the phone; then Erase everything from the phone.

HT4623 how do I delete a contact not listed in the phone

So I've been having various issues with iphones since I was foolish enough to purchase this inferior product, I have a contact in my phone we will call Sally Example. Sally Example is saved in my phone as 111-111-1111. This is a correction from the orginal save where she was listed as 111-111-1112. However when I search for Sally Example I'm displayed both phone numbers. When I look at the contact only the correct number is listed. This issue only really occurs when I'm in the process of creating a new text message and begin typing the name.
So the screen looks like this:
                                                                                                    New Message                                             Cancel
To: Sally Example                                                                                                                                               +
Sally Example                                                                                                                                                 Cloud Icon
Mobile     +1(111) 111-1111
Sally Example
Other      +1(111) 111-1112
Why does it do this? How do I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If the book is in the cloud, then it isn't on your device and isn't able to be deleted.

How do I delete a contact?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Display the contact, tap edit, scroll down to the bottom and hit the delete button.

The contacts icon was deleted from my iPhone 5. How do I get it back?

My granddaughter played with my phone and deleted the Contacts icon. The information is still on the phone under Phone. How do I add the icon back?

Well, it's impossible to delete Apple's Contact app. Swipe the home screen to the right and type in a search bar for 'CONTACTS' and it should find the app. She may have put it into a folder or it's on page 9/screen. It's there, you may need to do a little searching and that may take time on your part.
(Apple apps can't be deleted.)

Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone. You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s). When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone. If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

I recently downloaded the 5.1.1 and all of a sudden the contact icon has disappeared. I can still access my contact list through the phone icon, but I want the contact icon back. How can I reinstall it?

You can't delete it. Look on all your screens and inside all your folders. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

Hi Cynthia! If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete. Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF). Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE. You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone! Hope it helps!

Sort of depend on what you are trying to do precisely. In Edit mode, if you tap on any label, you will be given a list of options, plus an Add Custom Label option near the bottom of the list

How to restore the Contacts icon in my Gmail account?

I just realize that my contacts are not being updated from my Gmail account. When I went to see my Gmail account settings the Contacts icon was missing from my iPhone Gmail account. When I called the Apple support I was advised to delete the account and recreate it again. I deleted the account, restarted the phone and then hard reset the phone. No luck. The icon is still missing!

hello Dhanraj K, for gmail accounts there shouldn't be much manual configuration required. please try to set it up like described in [[Add an email account to the Mail app in Firefox OS]]

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once. These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says From My Mac. I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.

Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one
