How to delete hundreds of contacts on iphone

Icloud goes into my pc and takes every name, phone number, and email address from every email stored in my computer and places them in my Contacts list on my phone. Which means I am going to have a wreck trying to dial my husband as I fish through 1471 contact names each time I try to dial a number.
My iphone 4 is two weeks old and has completely stopped working twice - with an error message saying that I need to restore through Itunes. I did that - twice and then decided to use icloud the second time. That created the 1471 contacts fiasco.
How can I delete the names without having to do them individually. As soon as I attempt to delete 1471 contacts, my phone will crash again next week and icloud will download the same 1471 contacts again.
I hate spending my evening hours researching this headache.

Try going to the Address book from the Ovi Mail section. There you can select all contacts with a master checkbox.

If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup.

How to delete paused application download from iphone

Hi,
Can anybody please let me know how to delete paused application download from iphone.

Hello, flowerpet1. Thank you for your reply. Interestingly, your instructions worked on my iPad Mini, where I had the same problem. The update module was listed under "Usage" and I was able to delete it. Although I still have the red circle with "1" in it over my Settings icon on the home page, the status under Software Update is now "Download and Install" instead of just "Install". Also, the available storage on the Usage screen has increased by about 4.2 GB.
On my iPhone 5S, however, I'm not quite sure what the situation is now. The IOS 8 update module does not show under "Usage". However, the status under Software Update has also changed to "Download and Install" instead of just "Install"--but without my doing anything to the phone. Maybe the update file was removed from the phone when I removed it from the iPad. I don't remember what the available storage was before, so I don't know if I recouped any space.
Anyway, your reply was a big help. Thank you very much.
Jack

When connection your iPhone to iTunes, go to the "info"-tab (I think it's called), and check the box "Sync contacts from Address Book". This should do the job.

How to delete calender and contacts from Sync?

Hi,
I tried to sync my cals and contacts with iPhoneMacMobileMe, and there are always duplicated. So I decided to sync everything over mobileMe only (iPhone MobileMe and MacMobileMe). I unselected the checkboxes in iTunes to sync theses data with iPhone. But on the iPhone, there's still data from last syncs - both from calender and contacts. How can I remove those from the iPhone, so that only mobileMe calenders and contacts are shown?
Thanks

I just, 30 minutes ago, learned, I think, the answer to that. I tried it and it worked for me. I had duplicate events and "sets" of calendars.
Delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone.
Restart the iPhone.
Add the MobileMe account back and turn on Calendar and Contact syncing.
You'll be asked if you want to merge the data. Tap yes.
This should, after a few minutes, set you up with only one set of calendars and contact groups.
Sync only over MobileMe and don't via iTunes.
