Removing or deleting facebook contacts

I have read everyone's suggestions for removing facebook contacts from my contact list on my ipad when I sync but nothing seems to work. I'm either not understanding where to look or my layout is different. I'm currently on version 7.0.4 I have gone to SETTINGS/FACEBOOK then I get lost from there. Thanks for your help.

Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, you cannot delete Facebook contacts within Skype application.
try this.
Disconnect Facebook
In Skype, Click View >> Skype Home >> Click the blue (gear) button on the right
Remove Skype from your Facebook account (delete all Skype activity)
https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=170585223002660
Try to reset skype settings
Exit Skype : From the system tray >> right click on the skype icon and click "Quit"
Click Start >> Run Type: %appdata% Rename folder "Skype" to "Old_Skype"
Re-run Skype
Note: You will need your password to re-log on, and re-set any options from default

How to delete facebook contacts on mountain lion

I just updated to 10.8.2 which has facebook built in to the operating system. This synced all of my facebook contacts with my mac. I do not want certain facebook contacts in my contacts. Is there any way that I can remove them without unsyncing my facebook with icloud and mountainlion?

Well this can be done by going into system settings and then internet accounts. In the left panel click on your facebook account and then you will see an option to uncheck contacts. This will remove all facebook contacts. Also if you want to delete the one by one, just go into your contacts and delete them one at a time.
Here is a video that shows you how to do it if you are a visual learner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaCV9SkQGiM

How do I delete Facebook contacts

I'm trying to get rid of Facebook birthdays and contacts on both my iPhone 4S and ipad.
Settings- FB- Allow these Apps to use your account is turned off and updated but nothing changes

Settings>Facebook...turn off contacts.

Can anyone help me with iPhone 6 and removing Facebook contacts?

I recently got an iPhone 6 and i recently set up a family sharing plan and now all of a sudden all my Facebook contacts are now in my contacts on my phone and I do not want that - they are mostly just email addresses and I manually have the one's I want in my phone already so don't want those Facebook email addresses in my contacts on my phone. When I go to edit them (they have an "F" by the picture) and go to the bottom it doesn't give me the Delete option, only to "link contacts". There are also some others I can delete and not sure where they are pulling from, but I only want the contacts I first set up and not all these extras...how do I get rid of them so it doesn't sync and keep adding them back please? I went under Settings/Contacts but turning that off removes most all my contacts...Please, any help is appreciated.

Hi Gary Schnetter,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have enabled Contacts in your Facebook settings. You can navigate to Settings > Facebook to see these settings. Please use the attached article to use as a reference for this situation.

How do I remove Facebook contacts from my Contacts list on my 4S??? I've already gone into iCloud settings and Facebook is not even an option to turn off and I've gone into "Groups" in my contact list and Facebook is not there either. How do I stop this

How do I remove Facebook contacts from my Contacts list on my 4S??? I've already gone into iCloud settings and Facebook is not even an option to turn off and I've gone into "Groups" in my contact list and Facebook is not there either. How do I stop this??

Hmmmm...maybe try deleting them again (I know it's a pain) and then doing a manual icloud backup (unless you already did this). Icloud may be putting them back on there. I never allowed FB to put the contacts on my phone lol. Also try going into Privacy and Contacts...make sure FB isn't on in there. Might be a few other spots to check under settings to make sure too. And...you might want to try deleting the FB app, do a icloud backup, and then reinstall FB

How to remove (delete) FB contacts from the contact list.

I'm really new to my new Mac and having a bit of trouble trying to delete all the contacts that were downloaded to my contact list from Facebook. I have tried highlighting one and deleting it that way, but, the 'Remove from Group' doesn't light up.
I tried putting them in a particular group, such as FB contacts, then deleting that group. But, they still remain in the group titles 'All on My Mac'. How do I get them deleted from that group??

To turn off Facebook contacts:
1) Go to Contacts
2) Click Group on the top
3) Uncheck All Facebook
Then you shuold just see your regular contacts.
Good luck.
Mr Bill

IPhone5 - My contacts were transferred to the 5 with no problem but it also downloaded all of my Facebook contacts. It won't let me delete them. How do I get rid of those contacts please? Thank you.

I cannot remove my Facebook contacts. Phone list transferred but added all of my FB friends and I don't want them on there. When I try to delete them it won't let me. How do I fix this please?

unfortunately, none of these suggestions are working for me. I've even gone to FB to see if there were any topics related to this problem, and nothing. How convenient for them!!!! This is sooo frustrating! My only option would be to delete each contact one by one which could take me all day. this is such bull...

How do you remove facebook contacts from contact list in IOS 8?

Got a new 6+ today and it loaded all my facebook contacts in my contact list. How do you remove them. In IOS7 you used to go to settings/facebook/groups in upper left corner and uncheck face book, but its not there in IOS 8

Hey mmoore216,
Great question! You can disable your Facebook contacts from syncing with your Contacts application in the following location:
iOS: Using Facebook, Twitter, and other social network accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5500
Sync contacts and calendars
iOS can sync your Facebook contacts and calendars with your device. This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in Settings > Facebook after adding your account.
Thanks,

I recently deleted a contact from my phone book and when I send a text the same contact appears.. How do I remove it?

I recently deleted a contact from my phone book and when I send a text the same contact appears.. How do I remove it?

I don't believe there's much you can do about it...have a look at the "More Like This" pane on the right side of this page.
One way though to eliminate the issue (although not a very good way) is to restore the phone as new.

Iphone 4 automatically sending nuisance/ viral e-mail messages from my yahoo account to members of my phone/ e-mail/ facebook contact list. What can I do to stop this?

This has occurred on 2 different occassions. In both cases, I can not identify a viral email that I would have opened that could have started this as we are very cautious about opening unknown emails, and definately NEVER double click on links that come through in nuisance/ spam type e-mails.
This morning was the second time that it appears my iphone was somehow involved in automatically sending out a mass nuisance message to all my contacts (phone contacts/ facebook contacts/ yahoo contacts). The email contained no message - except for a single link to an unknown destination of course since I refuse to dbl click on it to see what I have sent out to my friends.
This is the second time it has happened. I have posted on facebook to all my friends to not open the message. I have deleted ALL my contacts from both my phone and from yahoo contact list. I even deleted facebook and all it's info. from my phone to remove their contact lists. I don't want this to keep happening to my friends. The only thing I haven't deleted is my phone contacts (phone numbers) but I am assuming it may very well happen again since the automatic message was also sent to my phone contacts. (Not sure how that even happens - an auto email to a phone number?)
I have been reading on this site that it is nearly impossible to get a virus on your iphone - however, what other explanation is there? I don't have a PC - I don't have any Windows products in my home. We own 1 ipad and 2 iphones at the moment. I never access my yahoo account from anywhere but my MAC products. What is happening and how can it be resolved?
Thanx!

if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account

Trying to delete my Contacts Storage using Clear Data button however it's Unavailable

Just recently upgraded to a Droid Razr (been a long time blackberry user) and really just beginning to understand some of the features. During the initial setup I didn't handle my contacts the way I would have preferred and would like to start over. From what I can decipher, I should be able to go to Settings>Applications>Storage Use> and then chose "Contacts Storage" to completely delete my contacts via the "Clear Data" button.
However, the "Clear Data" button is grayed out and unavailable. I've tried using "Force Stop" thinking that if this application currently had the data in an open state then that might be why is was unavailable. However, it doesn't appear that "Force Stop" ever actually stops the application and it certainly doesn't allow me to chose "Clear Data" afterwards.
Does anyone know how I could either make the "Clear Data" button available or another method to completely remove my contacts?
Some other info that might be helpful:
Hardware: Droid Razr
Android Version: 2.3.6
Data Size: 31.29MB
I do not want to "root" my phone at this time. If I were going to make a wild guess, I think it could be related to Backup Assistant (same idea that if an application has locked the data, it's not read/writable). However, I don't see any way in the phone to disable Backup Assistant to test this theory. Furthermore, I have disabled sync with all other contact services (facebook, linkedin, etc.) so if I can ever delete my contacts... the deletion won't propogate to my original sources.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Take a look at these instructions i Found And you might be able to Get Rid of them by Tapping on the Contacts up on Top then hitting your settings and Tap Manage Contacts that might give you the option there to get Rid of them. You could Export them to your SD CARD Then once in there Format the Card. But a word of Caution if you have an Pictures or Songs in there they will be Wiped as Well..
