The only way to do that is to restore the phone as new (not from a back up). There is a workaround to get the numbers from appearing by setting up a new contact with a nonesense name that you would never type and assign the number to that contact. Bit of a kludge but it seems to be sufficient for some people.
You may also want to submit feedback to Apple requesting that the add the same delete capabilities they've recently added for Mail.

Best of luck.

  • Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?

    Can anyone help me sync calendars from my iPhone to my Mac and help me figure out how to edit or delete lists in Reminders?  I thought upgrading to Mountain Lion would work, but I'm having the same problem as before under Snow Leopard.  So, here's my situation. 
    I'm running 10.8.2 on a Macbook Pro.  I have a 3GS iPhone running 6.0.1.  I can make entries on my Mac Calendar and they will show up on my iPhone, but if I make an entry on my iPhone, it never makes it to my Mac.  Also, I notice that when I log in to my iCloud account on my Mac, it has a "me.com" email address as my apple i.d., but it is not my primary account i.d. and I can't figure out how to delete it.  Also, my Reminders application won't allow me to delete lists I created.  Contacts, on the other hand, work instantaneously regardless of where the change is initiated.

    On you iPhone check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the calendars section).  Here be sure you have selected the Calendar listed under your iCloud account ID as your default.  If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
    You should be able to delete you reminders list by, from the Lists view, tapping Edit at the top, then tapping next to the list you want to delete and tapping Delete.

  • How long is a recent list stores in an iPhone in messages? I deleted a contact almost a year ago and it still comes up as a name and number?

    How long is a recent list stores in an iPhone in messages? I deleted a contact almost a year ago and it still comes up as a name and number and when you click on the I button, it says "delete from recent list"
    Hardly a recent number

    Yeah that info will certainly carry over form the backup, but once you delete it from recents, it shouldn't show up anymore.

  • Anyone figure out how to edit the genre list in itunes yet?

    I've searched the topic list to answer my question and have found some threads on this subject but all were from some time back.
    I was just wondering if there is anything new on this. I understand there are factory preset genres. I understand how to add and remove my own. But I want to nuke apple's factory preset genres so my list is more concise and pertinent to my own tastes.
    Another reason I want to edit it could just be because they say I cant!

    I am not sure if this is what you want, if you click on the genre field of an individual track, you can edit it. If you make it a new genre, it will appear in the genre list.

    Choose the BP you would like to add to the negative list and screen it using transaction /SAPSLL/SPL_CHSB1LO.
    Then from the next screen hit the "Negative List" button:
    To remove from the negative list go to transaction BP enter the business partner number and navigate to the SAP GTS tab.

    Hi all,

nd how might I do it? 


    This is probably really simple, but I'm relatively new to CS3 so anyone who could enlighten me would be appreciated.

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

  • How to delete an individual file from the'Recents' list on an Android tablet? Not the original file in the documents library.

    I don't think you can remove just one file from this list.

    My old PC broke, it was the only pc my classic was sync with. New PC only shows 1 song (recent purchase) so am worried about syncing to new PC in case I lose the list on my iPod, which is still intacted. How can I transfer my list to new PC?

  • How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

    In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
    I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
    I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
    The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
    I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
    If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
    But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
    Thank you for helping.

    George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
    All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
    IMPORTANT:
    Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
    Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
    Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
    My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
    Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
    Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
    Good luck and enjoy.

  • How to edit contact list in sim card?

    Could someone tell me how to edit contact list in the sim card?
    When you edit the contact list on the phone, sim card entries are not affected.
    Thanks and regards.
    tkp11

    The iPhone Will copy sim addresses automatically To the onboard memory and address book app however does NOT write back to the sim card . To edit sim card data you would need to put the sim back in a traditional traditional mobile phone.
    The sim in the iphone is only used for network recognition.

  • How to edit the T9 word suggestion list

    HI all,
    I hope someone can help here..  I'm using the N97 with original firmware (no update available yet). When I'm using T9 text input from the dialpad and type 86 which should give 'to' I get 'vo' instead which is not even a word as far as I know, to make matters worse if I press * to get the next word it give 'vo' again, so now each time I type 'to' in a message it take 4 keypresses.
    My question is, is there an editable T9 word list file where I can remove this problem? it was not on the N95 which I've used for 2 years so it's really anoying.
    Thanks & regards 

    Hi,
    I don't know much about T9 on N97. But currently I'm using Nokia 5800xm and not much different compare to N97 (i think).
    In 5800xm, I can spell (pesonalize) what ever word I want on the T9 predictive, but I can never delete any suggestion word that I don't want to be listed in it. Nokia 5800xm doesn't have this feature compare to Sonyericsson W810i that I recently used. The T9 prediction feature was great and I don't have to spell all the word I want, it will predict the word out I can choose it right away. I hope Nokia can overcome to this feature.
    Better still in 5800xm, it'll list the most frequent used word in the first selection of the word. Saying that, if you use the word "to" frequently, the it will memorize it and you don't have to press the "*" 4 times as before when ever you keypad "8" and "6" simultaneously.
    I hope this will help you.
