How do you delete a contact list?

How can I delete a whole contact group? I have 3 contact groups on my iPhone and I want only one. I need to find out how to delete any 2 of them and then fix up the remaining one.

The only way to delete contacts from the iPhone is one by one.
If you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac and using the Address Book application for syncing contact information, the best way to mass delete contacts from the iPhone is by deleting the contacts with the Address Book application on your Mac and then syncing your iPhone when finished.
The sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks is a sync by definition - bidirectional between the iPhone and the supported applications on your Mac.

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!

How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"

How do you delete the contacts from "All on My Mac"? i have moved everything to iCloud and want to delete the contacts on my mac.

Signing out will not delete them from iCloud. Do it and read the message. It will give you the option to store address book contacts locally or just in iCloud. It will tell you that they will be available in iCloud when you sign back in.
In Addition, signing your mac out of iCloud does not sign your other devices out of iCloud. Any info in iCloud will still be available to other devices.
You can also access iCloud from the website https://www.icloud.com , which you can access from any computer at any time.

Even when you text and delete the conversation, it still displays all the texts in the history for that contact, I want that deleted out and there is no way to do it.
When you're on the screen you 're talking about, if you press the menu button (bottom left) that brings up a "Delete" button. Is this what you're asking?

I added a Hotmail account to my phone some time ago, and for some reason it imported all the contacts from that account.
