  • TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this?  i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

    How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory?  I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

    You would have to restore as new.

  • How do I delete    all contacts (at one time) from i      phone4

    Somehow I have gotten mutilple listing in contacts.  How do I delete all contacts from I phone and start over?

        baprawski,
    Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
    You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

  • How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync my contacts and it has resulted in doubling and now tripling the

    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 i delete a contacts sub folder from my iPhone?

    Hi, sure.
    Under "contacts" "Groups" I have the "All Contacts" option at the top, underneath that i have 3 empty subfolders that have come in from my PC Outlook program. I've deleted these from Outlook, shut Outlook down, shut iTunes down, re started both programs and re synced my iPhone4 and iPhone5. They are still on the iPhone 4, just given to my wife, but have disappeared from my iPhone 5!

  • HT5465 how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone ios7 ?

    how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone - ios7.0.2  ?

    The fact that those internal contacts lists aren't editable is an irritation to many. I've submitted feedback to Apple several times on this, asking that in a future OS release they should either
    Provide a way to directly access that list of 'Recent Addressees' and Delete unwanted ones, or
    If not that, then at least mode it so that addressses selected from that list bubble up to the top, therefore over time moving the unused ones down out of sight.
    Other have added their own ideas, and the more they hear on this topic the more likely a future fix will become. If you feel that you would like the change, then put together your best case for it and make your wishes known directly to apple via their established Feedback links:

  • 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

    Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
    There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

  • How do you delete the Contact history in the Droid X

    does anyone know of any way to delete the contact history, it displays all the history from phone calls to text messages, even after you delete the conversation of a text, its still displayed in the history, it also displays all facebook history and old messages, how do you delete this out of the phone??

    thats for recent calls...what I am talkin about is the contact list...there are 3 swipe windows when you call up the contact list, its starts off in the middle displaying your contcts, swipe to the right and it shows social networking updates, swipe all the to the left and it has contact history which shows all the history for your contacts, whether its phone calls, texts, facebook updates, facebook messages, everything for every contact, I have facebook messages from months ago that come up because its linked to facebook. 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?

  • How to permanently delete a contact?

    For example, I had a contact name "apple" after I deleted it, it still shows up when I search for contacts starting with a letter "a".

    Thanks.

    Delete  a contact from the iphone from the contact book : on top of the contact slide from left to rigth , press delete
    NOTE : if you use the general search by sliding from left to rigth on main screen you are opennig a kind of search that will seach everything that as to do with what you type in the search will give results from : Contacts , messages , mail , apps ,etc
    So if the contact that you delete can be found on a previus message or call or mail it will appear again ...
